YMCA summer swim teams are for Y members ages 5 to 18. Swimmers learn the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship and goal setting.
Swimmers compete in a series of meets during the summer against other YMCA of the Triangle branches.
Practices are age-specific and held in the afternoon/evening, Monday through Thursday.
