Register now for Fall Swim Team!
Our Swim Team season is from September - December, 2012, and culminates each student's swimming knowledge in a fun, team-building experience while working on the YMCA's philosophy of character development. It is for children ages 5-18 years. Practices are on Tuesday and Thursday.
Children ages 5-8 practice from 5:30-6:15 p.m., ages 9-18 practice from 6:15-7:15 p.m. We compete with the other Y's in our association: Luter in Smithfield, Hampton, Victory in York County, and R.F. Wilkinson in Williamsburg. We will also have an Invitational Meet the beginning of December. |
