About the FISH
The FISH swim team is a USA Swimming Club, founded by Head Coach/Executive Director Ray Benecki. Coach Ray started the team with a small, dedicated group of swimmers in 1991at Spring Hill RECenter in McLean, VA. Spring Hill has been the home of the FISH team ever since. In 2009, the team added a second site - Audrey Moore at Wakefield Park - to its program. Since then, the team has grown to over 300 members. Most families live in the greater Washington, DC Metropolitan area.
In 2009 the team received the highest honor of Gold Medal Club status awarded by USA Swimming, a status reserved to only very few clubs in the country.

The team's mission is to encourage the
pursuit of excellence, while nurturing a love for the sport of swimming, and
