Our Program:

Yorktown Swim Club exists to provide an amateur athletic program which encourages the pursuit of excellence in competitive swimming.  Our program currently utilizes aquatic facilities at Yorktown High School, Nassau Swim Club and Tuhey Pool (Muncie).  We offer two sessions per year:  the short course season (September-March) and the long course season (April-August).  All YSC swimmers are members of USA Swimming and Indiana Swimming. 

Our program provides both developmental and competitive swimming at several skill levels.  Each swimmer is evaluated by the coaching staff and placed in the appropriate practice group according to his or her current skill level.  As our swimmers’ skills develop, they are able to move on to another Group as determined by the coaches. 

Our Mission:

The mission of the Yorktown Swim Club is to have a nationally recognized competitive, aquatic program which provides swimmers the opportunity to achieve their potential as individuals as well as athletes.  To strive to instill in young swimmers an understanding of and appreciation for such concepts as high self-esteem, personal accountability, self-discipline, and goal setting and achievement.  The Yorktown Swim Club not only exists to provide an amateur athletic program for swimming, but also a program which develops character and life skills that will help with success throughout the lives of our young swimmers.
