YMCA Swim Team

The Bristol Family YMCA Swim Team is for boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 14 who love to swim. Kids can come together and learn the four competitive strokes while increasing their lifetime commitment to fitness. We focus on swimming the right way with drills and stroke technique as the primary emphasis. The YMCA program is centered around the five character values: Honesty, Caring, Responsibility, Respect, and Faith.

The YMCA will form a team to compete against local area swim teams in the Summer League. Teams will also be placed on a rotating schedule to compete against another team. All teams will come together for a final day of competition.
