From Whidbey’s swimming pools to New York’s, the Tack family has always been one stroke ahead of the competition.
And nothing has changed.
Former Coupeville residents Ethan and Lucas Tack are continuing the family tradition, with Ethan helping his teammates repeat as public school state champions.
Two of former Coupeville Town Councilman Tom Tack’s four sons, Ethan and Lucas attend Half Hollow Hills.
Ethan, a junior, swam on 200 medley and 200 free relay squads that shattered state records.
He was joined by teammates Daniel Lee, Dylan Chan and Alex Park, winning the medley in 1:33.42 and the freestyle in 1:25.27.
Ethan also finished third in the 200 IM and 5th in the 100 fly.
Lucas is a freshman, and like his brothers, first got into swimming with the Aquajet program at Oak Harbor’s John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.
The Tack brothers are rounded out by older siblings Spencer, a First-Team All-League soccer player during his Coupeville High School days, and Harrison.
