ABOUT TYDE SWIM TEAM

As a competitive swim team, TYDE has an expectation of team spirit and sportsmanship in all of our athletes.  It is our mission to create leaders in and out of the pool.  As a YMCA team, we have a strong focus on the Y Core Values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith.  We incorporate them into all aspects of our TYDE program.  

Started in 1973 as WSY, TYDE has grown to over 500 swimmers practicing at 10 locations in six counties across Northwest North Carolina. TYDE offers practice options for beginners just out of swim lessons (Prep Academy) to year-round Competitive (up to age 18) to Master's for triathletes and fitness enthusiasts of all levels as well as those seeking a low-impact exercise routine.  

As part of our commitment to our athletes, TYDE is a USA Swimming-recognized Safe Sport Team. Our top priority continues to be keeping our athletes safe.  We will continue to make abuse prevention and response an important piece of everything we do.
