SCHOOL LEAGUE
The YMCA School Swim League introduces kids 5 - 14 years of age to the excitement of competitive
swimming. The league is held in the spring with three teams made up of elementary and middle school
kids participating in weekday practices and swim meets. You don't have to know about the sport, you just
have to know how to have FUN!
Prerequisites: Preschool participants must have Starfish skills and be able
to swim the length of the pool without a floatation device. School Age participants must have Minnow skills or better.
Y Members: $25
Program Members: $50
SUMMER LEAGUE
The next
step in the swim team program serves as a continuation of what is learned in the School League. The
summer swim team involves kids 5 - 18 years old who work on the techniques of competitive swimming, including all the
strokes, starts and turns. The competition heats up as the team competes
in the Kanawha Valley Swim League against various teams from Charleston, WV. The Summer League runs June through
July and involves some travel to clubs in the Kanawha Valley.
Prerequisites: School League experience strongly encouraged. Ages 4 and
up! Participants must be able to swim the length of the pool without a floatation device, unassisted, and without
stopping.
BRY Summer/Year Round Members: $40 (less than $2.50 a practice!)
