Twin Cities Summer Swim Team

The Twin Cities Swim Team is a YMCA competitive swim program designed to instill our "Y" core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. The program is open to boys and girls ages 6-18 (must be able to swim the length of the pool).

This program is designed to improve swimming technique by teaching fundamentals of the four basic swim strokes as well as teaching swimmers to set goals, work as an individual, and also as part of a team.

Swim team abilities range from those representing the team at regional and national meets and those just graduating from swim lessons.

Special Notes

Summer Champs for US swimmers will be July 19th to 21st in St. John, NB for anyone planning to attend. Swimmers that are not already US registered can swim US meets over the summer by registering through Coach Tom for a seasonal membership of $35.50. US swimming is optional, but in the summer this is the only league that runs meets. The full meet schedule will be available by the start of the summer and even if you are registered for US swim you still pick which meets to attend [no required swim meets in the summer, just suggested] The registration forms for this will be available on the YMCA TCST bulletin board by the first week of practice.
