Hundreds of swimmers converged Saturday morning at the Liberty County/Armed Services YMCA for the annual YMCA Swim Championships.Teams representing the YMCA branches across Coastal Georgia lined up in age group and swim heats, but despite the competition, the event was more a show of unity and the principles of the YMCA. “We are celebrating sportsmanship and Christian values and enjoying our time together,” Liberty Branch Aquatics Coordinator Ruth Hubner said.Hubner has worked at the local Y for three years but was promoted to aquatics coordinator two months ago.She said what brings everyone together is passion for sharing the sport of swimming and the camaraderie shared between the swimmers and their families eagerly cheering every competitor to the end of each race. “This is our culminating event for the season,” Hubner said. She said the Liberty County YMCA swim team trains year-round, but most of the other participating teams began training for the event in June.
