Foothills Area YMCA Swim Team
We accept new swimmers throughout the year. If you would like to schedule a new swimmer evaluation, please contact Coach Lindsey at [email protected] to set one up!
This competitive program offers children and teens an opportunity to work with trained coaches to improve swimming skills, endurance and promote a healthy lifestyle.
There is a limit of 16 participants in each group at each location. We have a waitlist set up if the group you are looking to participate in is full. We apologize for the inconvenience, but with limits in time and lane space we must put the safety of swimmers first.
Every Swim Team program participant who is swimming at the Foothills YMCA must have a FAYMCA membership
