CLUB
Kingston YMCA Hurricanes Swim Club is a private, nonprofit
organization whose purpose is to promote the sport of age-group
swimming. We strive to provide a positive atmosphere in which to
learn and develop the skills of competitive swimming. The
Kingston YMCA Hurricanes Swim Club is registered with YMCA Swimming
as well as USA Swimming, the national governing bodies for amateur
swimming in this country. All members of the Kingston YMCA
Hurricanes Swim Club, our coaches, and all officials at swim meets
are registered as members of YMCA Swimming; it is the option of the
swimmer to participate in USA Swimming meets/events with the club
when the club swims in USA Swimming competitions. As members
of YMCA Swimming, we compete with registered clubs in the North
Country League; likewise, as members of USA Swimming, we compete
with registered clubs in USA Swimming competitions primarily within
the Adirondack League.
Membership in the Kingston YMCA Hurricanes Swim Club is contingent
on available space and is open to individuals who are between the
ages of 5 and 18, able to pass a swim test administered by the
coaches and able to pay registration dues. Complete

The benefits of competitive swimming include the
following:
* Opportunity to meet people and make new
friends

forms of cardiovascular exercise
* Development of the lifetime sport of
swimming
* Development of time management skills,
self-discipline, and sportsmanship
Your swimmer will continue to reap the benefits of participation
long after his or her association with the Kingston YMCA
Hurricanes.
