Greenwood Family YMCA Gators

Congratulations Gators - "Swim to Beijing" was a great success and a demonstration of your determination!

Welcome to the Greenwood Family YMCA Swim Team. The goal of the swim team program is to develop responsible, caring, respectful, and honest young adults through the sport of competitive swimming. Competitive swimming is the vehicle through which participants learn life lessons that will impact them forever. We focus on the values that will enable each participant to lead a fulfilling and productive life outside of swimming and we take pride in the strong leaders and role models who graduate from the program. Throughout the program, you will find constant examples of these traits in action from our coaches, swimmers and parents.

Summer Championship

Well, it is now official. Warm ups are Saturday morning at 7:30am for 10 and under and 12:30 for 11 and older. Sunday warm-ups are at 8:15am for 10 and under and 12:30 for 11 and older.

Today was a great day at practice. Every swimmer took part in the last mile of the swim to Beijing. The Index Journal was there as was Greenwood Today. I have been told both will have the pictures on their websites. Congratulation to all the swimmers on the 7149 mile swim from Greenwood, South Carolina to Beijing, China.
