GENERAL INFORMATION

YMCA WINTER SWIM TEAM
Ages 6-18, boys and girls
The Hunterdon County YMCA continues its tradition of excellence in competitive swimming. Our multi-level program starts with beginner swimmers (age 8 & under) as Little Stingrays and leads them to become potentially national caliber level swimmers. The season runs from September 2011 and concludes in March/April 2012. We will be conducting tryouts for the team during the first and last week of August. Selection to the team
is limited. However, we offer other competitive training programs and classes for those swimmers not selected, to continue to learn and grow in the sport of swimming. All former swimmers will be contacted regarding information for preregistration by August 1, 2011.

Tryouts for new swimmers will be held at the pool at YMCA Camp Carr from 4-6pm on August 29 & 30.  After the tryout, qualifying participants will be given a registration form. 

Information will be made available at the Welcome Center of the YMCA and also online at www.hcymca.org. or call Head Coach, Jon Caswell at 782-1044 x 655. All swim team participants must be full-facility members of the YMCA. Fees and practice schedules will be available in August.

FACILITIES
All swimmers practice out of the Deer Path and Raritan Valley Community College pools.  Home dual meets as part of the North NJ YMCA Swim League are held from Nov. – Jan. at RVCC for all squads. Other swim meets, including USA Swimming competitions, are held at various pools across the NJ area including Rutgers and Princeton as well as
other invitationals along the eastern seaboard. All parents are asked to volunteer throughout the season at swim meets or other team functions.

NEED MORE INFORMATION?
Information will be made available at the Welcome Center of the YMCA and also online at www.hcymca.org/SwimTeam. Please call Coach Caswell at (908)782-1044 x 655 if you still have questions. All swim team participants must be full-facility members of the YMCA.
