Come join Dave and the gang and their band of Barracudas on our YMCA Youth Swim Team!  We are proud to provide one of the best non-competitive swim teams in the area.

Not sure if your child is ready for swim team?  Children should:

  • Be age 6-14
  • Be able to swim 50 yards of front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke and be familiar with butterfly OR
  • Have completed Fish level of YMCA swim lessons
  • Want to have fun
  • Fast or not-so-fast; it doesn’t matter

 Swimmers will learn:

  • Fine points of four competitive strokes

  • Elements of competition (including starts and turns)

  • How to do a workout (including using the clock and intervals)

Although this team does not compete, we do track times so your child can see his or her improvement over time.  Also, at the end of every 10- week session we have a Swim Meet where the kids can get the experience of being in a real meet without the pressure of scoring.

Registration for the full 10 weeks is $120 with a $10 discount for additional family members. 

Registration can be pro-rated for late registrations.  Scholarships are available; details can be found at the front desk.
