Hunting Creek Swim Team “The Lightning”

Hunting Creek Country Club, Prospect, KY

Lightning does strike more than once, in Kentucky. Coach Brandt comments on the continued success of the Hunting Creek Country Club swim team, “Coaching at HCCC for the past seven years has been an incredible privilege. It’s been deeply meaningful to give back to the community where I began my swimming career at the age of seven.”

Coach continued, “Being part of the Lightning is more than just being on a swim team; it’s being part of a family. Teaching these athletes how to swim, compete, work as a team, and develop lifelong skills has been a true joy. I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work with Jennie York. The lightning would not have this success without her! We have doubled the size of our program to over 140 members. We’ve accumulated three straight undefeated seasons, two runner-up swim championship trophies, and a runner-up overall championship trophy. Hunting Creek is such a special community, and I’m so thankful to have been a part of it. The Lightning will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Being that it is Family Month at Troon, we asked General Manager, Zeke Larson, to comment about the families and community support of the Lightning squad. “I love to see the swim team bringing our community together and be emblematic of who we are as a Club. The involvement of the whole family is truly heartwarming. Watching parents cheer on their kids, offering encouragement and support, adds a special energy to every meet. Even more touching is seeing parents who continue to come out and support the team, long after their own children have moved on. Their dedication and enthusiasm are a testament to the strong bonds and lasting friendships created through the team.”
