Are you looking for a fun and safe activity to get out of the house? What about keeping the kids active, while helping them learn essential life-saving skills? Our West Shore YMCA homeschool competitive swimming program provides a unique opportunity for homeschooled children to join our swim program during the “low-traffic” daytime slot in a nurturing, close-knit, positive environment.
Though the goals for each individual swimmer will vary, it is our intention to provide exceptional coaching focused on the whole person. Homeschool swimmers are not required to compete in meets but will be coached to the same standard as a swimmer who will (this is not lap swimming or swimming lessons). Prerequisites for this program include being comfortable swimming one length of the pool on your stomach and one length of the pool on your back.
The West Shore YMCA Homeschool Swim Team is a program for homeschool swimmers that focuses on skill development in the four competitive strokes as well as learning competitive swimming terminology, stroke drills, turns, starts, and developing physical fitness and endurance in a fun, less competitive environment. This group will practice twice a week for 75 minutes. The age group ranges between 8-18 years old.
