Member Spotlight: Richard

Richard is standing on the pool deck and smiling. He's wearing a black polo and khaki shorts with the MYST scoreboard in the background.

Member Spotlight: It’s time for another McGaw Y Member Spotlight! Meet Richard, one of our incredible longtime members who has been coming to the Y since 1957! His favorite activities include running, squash, yoga, and swimming. He first joined the Y as a boys club member in high school, where he loved Friday night dances. Years later, his son swam on the McGaw YMCA Swim Team from age 5 to 18, and he spent countless hours at practices and meets! Through these experiences, he made wonderful friends and connections with Y staff. Now, you can still find him swimming six days a week! We’re so grateful to have members like this who make the Y community so special!
