Upcoming Holiday: Halloween 🎃

Join us on October 30th for practice from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, followed by a fun-filled Halloween party from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Kids are welcome to bring their costumes, as long as they are YMCA-appropriate. We’ll have games, treats, and a costume contest with exciting prizes!

Parents, your help is always appreciated, and we welcome any contributions or coordination efforts to make this event even more memorable. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to lend a hand!

Safety First: Addressing Your Concerns

We know that some of you have raised concerns about our safety policy, and we want you to know that we hear you. Your children’s safety is our top priority, and we are actively working to find solutions that will accommodate everyone’s needs. We’ve attached a copy of our updated safety policy for your reference, and we appreciate your continued patience and support as we navigate these adjustments together.

We look forward to a wonderful October filled with fun practices, successful meets, and a strong sense of community. Thank you for being part of our swim team family!
