ATLANTA, Ga. — The Long Reach Swim Club of the Bath Area Family YMCA competed recently in the YMCA LCM National Championships held at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.

LCM is a 50-meter pool similar to ones used at the Olympics.

The Bath girls finished in 29th place with 40.5 points. No Bath boys attended the meet.

“The girls did a great job,” said head coach Jay Morissette.

“It was tough coming directly off of the Canada meet the week before and into 95-degree temperatures but the girls adjusted the best they could and we had some terrific swims. Caitlin Tycz continues to impress with her swims and the girls had great relay chemistry!”

In the 11-12 age group, Tycz set team/state and pending national records in the 50 free (27.86), 100 free (1:00.71), 50 butterfly (29.15) and 100 butterfly (1:06.50, not a team record, but a YMCA state record).

Sonia Lin, in 13-14, set a team and state record in the 50 breaststroke (35.86) and state records in the 100 breaststroke (1:21.84) and 200 breaststroke (3:01.39).

Jessica Russell, in 15-18, set team and state marks in the 200 freestyle (2:09.01) and 400 freestyle (4:37.24).

The 200 medley relay of Russell, Lin, Tycz and Celia Ouellette set a team and state record (2:04.64), while the same foursome set team and state marks in the 400 medley (4:42.57) and 200 free (1:51.57) and a state record in the 400 free (4:08.13).
