Mount Pleasant, SC – The heart of the Mount Pleasant community is heavy with sorrow as it mourns the tragic and untimely loss of Megan Lowry, a beloved member of the Snee Farm Swim Team, whose presence was nothing short of radiant. Megan’s passing has left a deep void not only in the lanes where she trained and competed, but in the lives of her teammates, coaches, family, and friends who cherished her fiercely.
Megan was more than just a talented swimmer—though her achievements in the pool were many. She was a force of energy, leadership, and kindness. Known for her fierce competitive spirit, Megan never swam for accolades alone; she swam with heart, with integrity, and with a relentless drive to improve. Her commitment to her team went far beyond personal success. She uplifted others, pushed teammates to believe in themselves, and celebrated every victory—big or small—as a shared triumph.
To know Megan was to know warmth and strength. With a vibrant personality that could light up a room and an infectious laugh that often echoed through the pool deck, she made everyone feel seen, valued, and welcome. As a mentor to younger swimmers, she took genuine joy in guiding them, whether through technique drills or tough life moments, offering support with patience and empathy. Megan had the rare gift of leadership without ego—she inspired through example, compassion, and authenticity.
Outside of the pool, Megan was just as unforgettable. A passionate student, a loyal friend, a loving daughter and sibling—her life was one of connection and purpose. She loved early mornings at Sullivan’s Island, spontaneous beach walks with friends, and cherished every moment with her family. Whether curled up with a good book, volunteering at local events, or singing along to her favorite playlists, Megan approached life with a zest that was contagious.
Her passing has sparked an outpouring of grief from across the Mount Pleasant community and beyond. As news spread, former teammates, coaches, teachers, and peers shared stories of how Megan touched their lives—each one a testament to the deep impact she had in her short time with us.
A memorial service will be held at Stella Maris Church on Sullivan’s Island, where family, friends, teammates, and neighbors will gather to remember Megan’s life, celebrate her legacy, and find comfort in each other’s presence. There will be tears, yes—but also laughter, shared memories, and a collective promise to carry forward the love, energy, and mentorship she brought into the world.
The legacy Megan leaves behind will forever ripple through the water she so loved. Her name will be spoken with reverence on pool decks and during team huddles. Her spirit will remain in the determination of a nervous swimmer ready to dive in. And her memory will live on in every act of encouragement, every moment of grace, and every bold pursuit of excellence—because that’s who Megan was.
She was, and always will be, a light for others to follow.
Rest peacefully, Megan. Your lane may now be still, but your impact will echo for generations.
