What is Lima Family YMCA Swim Team?
Our team is a seasonal competitive swim team offering high quality professional coaching and technique instruction for all ages and abilities. The goal of our team is to provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice to international competitor. All of our coaches hold YMCA Safety Training for Swim Coach certifications and have access to the most comprehensive training and certification program for youth coaches of any sport in the United States. They provide assurances that the time children spend in swimming will be quality time. We are a non profit YMCA team run by its YMCA staff and Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) which meets each month. All members are welcome at each meeting and encouraged to be involved in team activities and fundraisers.
Our Mission...
The aim of the Lima YMCA Barracudas is to promote competitive swimming in the Greater Lima within the guidelines of the YMCA goals:
- FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
- FOR HEALTHY LIVING
- FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our swimmers enjoy the sport for the fun and the community they compete in. Each swimmer is aided to achieve and surpass their goals in Swimming, Education and Life.
The training at the earliest level focuses on fluency in the water, skill development, and having fun and enjoyment in practice and competition. As the swimmer matures, the emphasis will slowly shift to a more challenging training program without abandoning the concepts of fluency, skill and enjoyment.
