The Valley of the Sun YMCA believes that swimming is an essential life skill and offers a wide range of swimming options to improve skills, build confidence, and teach water safety, including swim team options. Our Recreational swim team is focused on refining the swim strokes previously learned in swim lessons and prepping participants for a competitive environment. Recreational swim participants will be assessed for proficiency of the four main strokes: Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke, and Butterfly, before programming starts. Please sign up for an assessment if the participant has not previously been a part of the Recreational team.

The Recreational Track provides an entry-level swim team experience. This track provides the whole Aquatics experience of stroke development and age-appropriate conditioning without a focus on competition or time commitment. This track is ideal for swimmers who have just completed the YMCA swim lesson program. Fun swim meets and other events are offered and participation is optional. Participants must be able to swim 25 yards of freestyle.
