Chicago Smelts

Saying good bye to Gay Games Valencia València Gay Games 2026 and our fellow IGLA+ teams was hard, but the Smelts never go out without a bang ‼️ We absolutely slayed our Pink Flamingo performance and won lots of applause… Check out these smiles at the pool, and all over Valencia.

A big thank you from the team - Celebrating our coaches today with all the Gay Games relays and medals… more to come! Let’s go Smelts!!!!! 🐟🐟🐟🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊🥇🥈🥉
