There is a connection to international swimming at the Brown Family YMCA in swim coach George Oancea. George is a native of Romania and was on the Romanian national team before coming to the United States to swim collegiately at the University of Indianapolis. George is having a clear impact on the children he’s coaching at Brown, as several of his students have become state champions. When he’s not coaching youth swimmers, George serves our community as an analyst with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
