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.
