The Miami County YMCA is here to support your needs by teaching swimmers to swim from 6 years old through High School and beyond.  - We have several college swimmers come back to swim with us over the holidays and during the summer!

 

If you have questions related to being on the team, workouts, meets, events, goal setting, and other swimming related needs; please contact one of the coaches. For all questions related to administration; such as dues, safety, or policy issues, please contact a YMCA staff member.

 

Thanks so very much for being a part of the MCY team!  We so appreciate your involvement.  Please let us know if we can help in any way.
