🏊‍♀️ SWIMMER SPOTLIGHT: KINLEY McCARTHY!

This week we’re shining the spotlight on Kinley McCarthy from the Gold Group! 🌟

Kinley’s favorite event is the 100 Fly, and when she’s not in the pool, you can find her playing volleyball. 🏐

This September marks 4 years with MAC for Kinley! When asked what she loves most about swimming, she said: “I love learning and getting faster with the help of amazing coaches, and seeing my friends every day.”

We love Kinley’s positive attitude, dedication, and desire to keep learning and improving. She brings great energy to the pool and is always working to become a better swimmer and teammate.

We’re so glad you’re part of the MAC family, Kinley!

🏊‍♂️ What an awesome experience for Ryan Parsons at the 2026 Para Pan Pacific Championships in California!

This meet brought together nearly 200 swimmers from 10 nations, with a unique points system that meant Ryan was competing against all of the men in his events. He was one of the youngest swimmers in the field—and one of only three 14-year-old boys competing!

He competed in 5 events, setting new PRs in 3 of them, including an amazing performance in the 100 Breast where he dropped more than 2 seconds! He also advanced to the finals in the 100 Free. 🏊‍♂️🔥 Congrats, Ryan! Sending you support from your team at MAC!

💦 Another Fun Meet at the Kino Aquatics Center! Complete with exciting little prizes and recognitions along the way. 😎 Our younger swimmers love the opportunity to test out their developing skills and race as fast as possible in fun, encouraging meets!

Big dreams start with believing they’re possible! At MAC, we help all swimmers no matter where they are in their journey, to make and meet their goals. We’re all chasing something bigger! 💪🏼 🏊🏻

Mark your calendars! 📆 Fall is just around the corner and so are a lineup of fun events and exciting meets. 🏊‍♂️ Let’s get swimming!

Tonight we had one last sendoff for our older athletes who are headed out to various universities throughout the country, many to continue swimming on their new teams. Lots of friendships form over the years at the pool here at MAC! Some of them have been swimming with us since they were very young!
