Philosophy

Swimming is a fun activity that give kids the opportunity to build their mind and body, help them grow, and learn life lessons and values.

Swimming is a “delayed gratification” sport. It rewards those who put in the time and effort to improve. In swimming you get what you work for, not what you wish for.

Our athletes learn self-discipline, time management, sportsmanship, and goal setting. The Y is committed to providing a safe, healthy, and positive environment while teaching our core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility
