| Philosophy of the
Flying Sharks Swim Team |
The Flying Sharks swim team is a competitive winter swimming league
offered for training, instruction, and competition for youth ages 5-18.
This program is in place not only to make successful swimmers, but also
to promote improved physical conditioning, sportsmanship,
and self-discipline. The goal of the program is to develop the
life-long appreciation for the sport of competitive swimming while
modeling and teaching YMCA values which include honesty, caring,
respect, and responsibility. Our hope is that young people will
implement these values into all facets of their lives. |

Competitive Swimming and Diving Rules Committee, you must be a YMCA

| The Y motto is "we build
strong kids, strong families and strong communities," therefore, we
encourage families to be involved in the Flying Sharks swim activities.
You may choose to attend a competition as a spectator or volunteer at
swim meets, but know that your involvement at any level is meaningful to
your child, healthy for you family and helps the Nishna Valley Family
YMCA accomplish its mission. |
