It’s quite a feat to win back-to-back championship titles, let alone 30 in a row. That’s exactly what Coach Richard Finkelstein and his team, the Flushing YMCA Flyers, achieved this year – winning his 30th title at States at SUNY Buffalo March 18-20.
“It has been very rewarding and thrilling to have enjoyed such unusual success,†Finkelstein said. “Being on top for 30 years is a combination of many things. The YMCA has been blessed with dedicated swimmers, an excellent assistant coaching staff, great support from the YMCA, a little bit of luck and a terrific parents organization.â€
With Finkelstein as their head coach since his second season in 1959, the Flushing Y has grown exponentially. “It started with a few swimmers and grew each year. In the early years there were only a few swim clubs in the area but the growth of the YMCA team was limited by the size of the pool,†Finkelstein said. That is no longer the issue, as the program has grown exponentially and is now competitive at all levels, in USS and YMCA meets.
