Lydia Plamp KCD 1982

In 1980, Ms. Plamp was Kentucky State Champion in the 200-meter freestyle. She was also an integral member of the greatest swim quartet in Country Day swim team history: Lydia provided a very strong 100 freestyle leg in 1979 for the 400 freestyle relay, which gave the Bearcat swimmers their first relay state championship. That relay time and Ms. Plamp’s individual time in the 200 freestyle both remain school records three decades later. In addition, she was the 1980 state individual runner-up in the 500 freestyle. During her KCD swimming career, Ms. Plamp qualified to compete in nine events for the high school state swimming championships. Ms. Plamp, now married as Mrs. Brownlow, lives in Louisville and continues her love for both Kentucky Country Day and swimming. She is a full-time English faculty member at KCD and has served as an assistant swim coach. Lydia’s older son is a 2009 KCD graduate; her younger son is a member of the KCD class of 2015.
