Welcome to the Greenwood Family YMCA Swim Team. The goal of the Gator’s 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.
While there will be some experiences that are tougher than others, the coaches and parents comprise an important team in teaching the valuable lessons of a young person’s life. We are excited that you are a part of our YMCA program and look forward to your family’s involvement throughout the year. GO GATORS!
