Since its inception in 1970, the Ridgewood YMCA Dolphins Swim Team has been a staple in the Northeast Ohio competitive swimming community. In that time, RYD has had high levels of success in the water, but more importantly, has instilled strong character and successful habits into participants that lead them to excel in all facets of life. The team has evolved to include the North Royalton Family YMCA, extending its reach of building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities through involvement in competitive swimming.
