Swim Team

 Year-Round Swim Team

Swim Birmingham YMCA is a year-round program offering training for swimmers of all levels, from beginners to advanced.  SBY’s certified coaches will work on improving your child’s swimming ability while maintaining a focus on the YMCA’s core character values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.  SBY competes in both USA Swimming meets and YMCA competitions.

Swimmers are organized by age and grouped within those divisions according to their ability. The beginner to the most experienced swimmer will be challenged as they perfect their technique and build endurance, all while having fun! *Before registering for the swim team, all swimmers must be assessed by an SBY coach. Please get in touch with your branch to schedule an evaluation.
