Makos Swim Team
Why join the Makos?
To get a sense of accomplishment in personal growth and swimming ability. The coaches will use the most up-to-date drills so swimmers will develop their competitive swimming strokes freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly. Practices are targeted to your child’s ability and experience level. Each swimmer will get individual attention to develop their endurance and speed. We highly encourage swimming as an addition to other sports (football, baseball, soccer). This program emphasizes team commitment, self-discipline, and working toward high standards in and out of the pool. The team vision is to have fun and encourage each swimmer to achieve the next level in their swimming ability. We also strive to develop strong personal relationships between each swimmer by promoting the YMCA’s core values of caring honesty respect and responsibility.
