Team Philosophy
Founded in 1973, YFD is an
athlete-centered, coach-guided, and parent-supported
program. Our
coaches guide athletes to own the road to their greatest individual
potential. We value building leadership skills, teamwork,
confidence, and emotional intelligence as
paramount.
With these values and the technical
precision of our training program, YFD athletes consistently
represent Team USA at the World Maccabiah Games, final at
Junior Nationals and NCSA Age Group Championships, earning
Scholastic All-American recognition, win championship meets as
a team, and then go on to swim and study at the most
prestigious universities in the
country.
Our training groups teach skills that
build the character of each swimmer to excel both in the water and
in the classroom. We pride ourselves on growing the next generation
of game-changers.
Championing diversity as our
strength.
We believe in the
transformative power of inclusion in our sport, and we pride
ourselves on being a home for everyone. Through 92Y's
scholarship program, we are able to provide the resources so that
no swimmer is turned away because of an inability to
pay.
Our YFD coaches reflect the young leaders
we nurture – they're distinguished men and
women who draw from their myriad of lived experiences,
origins, cultures, and languages.
