Swim Team
Welcome to the Georgia Mountains YMCA TIGER SHARKS Swim Team! This is a recreational team with the goal of preparing swimmers for their middle and high school swim teams. Swimmers do not need to be experienced to participate. Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards and tread water for one minute consecutively. For safety we cannot accept non-swimmers.
Becoming a member of the YMCA Swim Team means fun, fitness and teamwork. The YMCA swim team is a developmental swim program run by trained coaches to improve swimmers’ competitive skills and endurance through progression rather than intense competition. The YMCA swim team promotes healthy lifestyles while embracing the four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
Check below to see our different teams, pricing, and schedules. Registration is monthly so you must register each month you wish to participate.
