The YMCA Sea Dragons Swim Team (YSPB) is a registered USA Swimming and YMCA Swimming year round competitive swim team. The term YSPB refers to our club code for swim meet purposes only. To preserve the  identity of the team, we strongly prefer our athletes to be referred to as Sea Dragon Swimmers. The Sea Dragons coaching staff has many years of experience in the development of swimmers of all ages with focus on teaching proper swimming technique. As a year round program organized and operated by the Aquatics Department of the Devos Blum Family YMCA, the Sea Dragons are dedicated to providing a high quality and nurturing environment for swimmers of all levels between the ages of 5 and 18. Through the facets of the swim team program, the Y looks to continue its impact with a focus on building youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. When you register for the Swim Team you can also become a YMCA member and enjoy all the benefits of our Y

YMCA and USA Swimming jointly provide an unparalleled opportunity for children as the largest  co–gender sport throughout the nation. To couple with the overall experience, swimming also builds strong foundation for a lifetime of good health by teaching age – appropriate fitness habits. The Sea Dragons Swim Team utilizes a form of age group swimming with a focus on team  involvement through ability and age based practice groups. The Sea Dragons are a dual - sanctioned YMCA and USA Swim Team, we belong to the Florida Gold Coast Swimming Chapter of USA Swimming. YMCA swimming meets will always remain a priority, but USA Swimming does provide additional competition opportunities for those swimmers looking for both experiences.

YMCA Swimming: Our values and philosophy are generated from the National YMCA movement. YMCA competitive swimming offers wonderful teachable moments where participants can develop values for a lifetime. As a YMCA team, we participate in the local invitational, Regional Championships and the YMCA National Championships. We abide by all the rules of the National YMCA Swim Committee. An Athlete’s age for YMCA competition is determined by their age as of  December 1st. The swimmer may stay in the younger age-group for the remainder of the season.

USA Swimming (USA-S): As an additional opportunity for our swimmers we also provide a USA-S  option. In order to participate in this opportunity, there is a separate USA–S registration fee as well as additional entry fees for the attended meets. In  USA–S meets, many of which requires  qualifying times for participation, each swimmer will be entered by the coaching staff into events for which he/she is eligible. Swimmers from many teams are entered in each event. The events are divided into heats so each swimmer is competing with others of equal skill. The meets are classified as All ages, A, or AA meets. Each classification has progressively stringent qualifying times that a swimmer must meet in order to enter. A swimmer who has not yet achieved and A time in a certain event may not swim that event at an A meet.  Conversely, a swimmer who has achieved an A time in an event may no longer swim that event at B or C meets. Thus at USA-S meets, swimmers are assured appropriate completion and are also encouraged to focus on the goal of improving their times rather than winning the race.
