REGISTRATION IS UNDERWAY

The JETS swim clinic is a great opportunity to spend time with the JETS coaches learning new skills and getting an idea of what the team is like. Throughout the clinic, coaches also evaluate swimmers to determine if they meet criteria to be placed on the team. If swimmers do not meet the criteria to join, the YMCA offers swim lesson programs to develop skills.

To participate in the clinic, swimmers must be able to safely swim 25 yards, comfortable with their face in the water. Spots for the team are limited.
