The Overlee Flying Fish will be led by one of their own and a very familiar face when the Northern Virginia Swimming League begins its summer season in June.
The team’s new head coach will be Ryan York, who swam for Overlee from age 6 to 18, with the 2021 season his last, then was an assistant with the team the past two summers. He set team records for Overlee and also was a lifeguard at the pool.
A number of members of the Yorktown High School girls swimming and diving team recently were rewarded as Class 6 all-state selections from their performances during the 2024-25 season.
They helped Yorktown win a third straight Virginia High School League state championship this past season.
