Henry Paterson competes as a senior in his first year of swimming for McCaskey. Sprints are his specialty — 100-yard butterfly and 100-yard backstroke. His goal is to break 50 seconds in the 100-yard fly and qualify for states.
In Henry’s prior years, he was home schooled while swimming for York YMCA (with 5:30 a.m. practices) and the Lancaster Aquatic Club. He concurrently swims for Lancaster Aquatic Club during the McCaskey swim team season.
His favorite training program involves the Long Course at LAC with the addition of weight training.
Attending college has already entered Henry’s future. Academics are important as he is a dual-enrollment student taking science courses at Millersville University and Harrisburg Area Community College.
His academic and athletic efforts are paying off as he is a committed Division 1 swimming recruit for Mount St. Mary’s University.
