Longtime Marco YMCA swim coach Kamal Farhat knows swimming talent when he sees it. And after their impressive showing in Key West over Labor Day Weekend, Farhat believes he has a quartet of young swimmers who could go on to do some big things.
Farhat has coached plenty of swimmers to college scholarships. He even coached his daughter, who competed in the Olympics. He likes what he sees in young Holton Lika, Finn McGuire, Ryan Nesmith, and Graham McGuire.
“We took them to the keys with the other swimmers,” Farhat said. "They did very well. They make me proud because they try hard atpracticeand it finally showed up at the meet. They did very well for themselves, as you see, with all the medals and trophies. ”
Farhat feels the swimmers all have potential to be good high school swimmers someday—maybe even better than just good.
"If they stick with it,” he said, “they will be great swimmers. They'll be the talk of the town."
