• A parent or guardian will be required to be in the water assisting their child during Preschool Stages 1-3 and Youth Stages 1-2 swim lessons until further notice. • As they have in the past, a parent or guardian will also be required to be in the water with their child during Stages A and B swim lessons. • Lane lines in our lap pools have been adjusted to ensure social distancing and all participants in all swim levels will be spaced 6 feet apart during swim lessons.

FOR HEALTHY LIVING

Improving the nation’s health and well-being. Because we know that healthy lifestyles are best achieved by nurturing our mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness at the Y is so much more than just working out. Beyond fitness facilities, we provide educational programs to promote healthier decisions, and offer a variety of programs that support physical, intellectual and spiritual strength.

SWIMMING FURTHER FASTER Joliet YMCA JETS Swim Team One of the area’s most historic youth swimming clubs, the Joliet Y JETS Swim Team is a year-round developmental competitive swimming program that offers instruction and training for swimmers, ages five and up. Swimmers of all ages will learn the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship and setting and achieving goals while developing their competitive swimming skills. The JETS Swim Team supports the YMCA’s mission of building strong kids, strong families and strong communities, and our professional team of coaches strive to not only build strong swimmers but caring, honest, respectful and responsible children and young adults.

What can I expect when my child joins the JETS?

Who can join the JETS?

To learn more about the JETS Swim Team, please contact:

To make the beginning level of the team, swimmers must be able to swim one length (25 yards) freestyle and one length (25 yards) backstroke comfortably, without a flotation device.

A member of both YMCA and USA Swimming, the JETS participate in a variety of meets throughout the year, although competition is not mandatory. The team practices up to six days a week at four locations throughout Will and Grundy Counties. Swimmers are encouraged to attend practices and work hard, but there are not mandatory practice attendance requirements.

How can I learn more about the JETS? Ashleigh Thomas, Director of Competitive Aquatics (815) 267-8600, Ext. 227 jetsyswimteam@jolietymca.org www.jetsyswimteam.org
