Team Overview:

Our team is a year round swim club offering high quality coaching and technique instruction for all ages and abilities.  We have a competitive swim team that swims September through March and a recreational swim team (established in 2014) that swims May to August. The goal of our team is to provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice and summer swimmer to high school / club team competitor (5 – 18 years old).

All of our coaches are certified in the YMCA Competitive Swimming program and have access to a very comprehensive training program. These certifications provide assurances that the time children spend on swim team will be quality time.

The focus of the coaching staff is to develop swimmers with proper stroke technique and sportsmanship and present opportunities to help them meet their full competitive potential, while emphasizing the core principals of the YMCA: Caring, Honesty, Respect, & Responsibility.

We are a non – profit club that is part of the Saint Charles County Family YMCA. The team is run by its coaches and elected Board of Directors which meets each month.  All members are welcome at each meeting and encouraged to be involved in team activities.

Our Pool:

Our pool is a competition style 6 lane, 25 meter, indoor pool with lane lines and 6 high starting blocks.  It is not grounded so meets / practice may be cancelled or delayed due to lightning in our area.
