Seasonal Summer League Groups
Our Summer League Group is designed to be a fun and engaging experience that allows swimmers to enjoy the sport in a relaxed atmosphere. The Summer League experience includes fun swim meets, team-building exercises, and social events that celebrate the love for the sport of swimming. Summer League groups are offered at the Kernersville Family YMCA (Kernersville RipTYDE) and the Statesville Family YMCA (Statesville Seashawks). The Summer League season runs from May to July each summer and is an 8-10 week program. Our Summer League groups are members of the Tri-County League. We are proud to provide swimmers with a summer league experience while upholding the following pillars:
-
Philosophy: Emphasizing the joy of swimming, this group offers a stress-free environment where the competition is friendly, and the focus is on enjoying the sport.
- Development: While there is still a focus on technique and skill improvement, the pressure of intense competition is lifted, allowing swimmers to explore their abilities in a supportive setting.
- Community: A great way to stay connected with the community and make lasting summer memories.
- Attendance: Swimmers are encouraged to attend as they wish, with flexibility to accommodate summer vacations and other activities.
This group is perfect for those who want to stay active in the water, improve their skills, and most importantly, have a great time with their peers. It’s all about bringing the fun back into the sport and enjoying the summer season to its fullest!
