SWIM TEAM
YMCA IN SHOREVIEW
WHAT IS Y SWIM TEAM?
Becoming a member of the YMCA Swim Team means fun,
fitness and teamwork. The YMCA swim team is a
developmental swim program run by trained coaches to
improve swimmers' competitive skills and endurance
through progression rather than intense competition.
The YMCA swim team promotes healthy lifestyles while
embracing the four core values of Caring, Honesty,
Respect and Responsibility.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Practices are structured much the same way as any
competitive swim team: warm-up, stretching, technique,
endurance, and cool-down. Participants are expected to
come to practice to work hard and improve skills.
Expect to be a part of the team by participating in the
meets. While it is not a requirement to participate in the
meets, it does showcase the team aspect of swimming:
you swim together, you win together.

 Can swim 25 yards breaststroke or butterfly is a

PARENT VOLUNTEERS
The success of our team is closely linked with
the participation of families. The team depends
on volunteers to help run swim meets, plan and
host social gatherings, or contribute to administrative support throughout the season. It
teaches participants the value of helping others
selflessly and doing something good for themselves as well as others.
Our team cannot function without volunteers!
When your swimmers signs up for the team, the
expectation is that you will help volunteer.
