With heavy hearts, we acknowledge the untimely passing of Jon Jolley, our coach and Swim Team Director for more than 30 years. Jon was a giant force within North Carolina swimming and had a national reputation for his breadth of training knowledge, his commitment to YMCA Swimming, and his willingness to collaborate with all teams, coaches, and officials. He coached thousands of athletes, each of whom meant the world to him, and left an indelible mark on the Hickory Community, the National YMCA Swimming Community, and the countless athletes, coaches, and volunteers that were a part of his 32-year involvement leading the YSST family. We will share arrangements as they are made available and look forward to celebrating Jon’s impact at a future date. Full details to follow.
