The Hampshire Regional YMCA Dolphins swim team strives to create a fun and competitive environment for swimmers of all abilities. The foundation of the program is centered in the YMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. The team is divided into three different swim divisions to provide opportunities for all ability levels. We offer a wide range of competitions throughout the season including USA sanctioned and YMCA league meets. All new swimmers are required to participate in a swim evaluation before signing up. This can be scheduled by contacting Head Coach Colin Machat at [email protected]. The evaluation process takes approximately 15 minutes and consists of different requirements for each division. The divisions are separated as follows: The Dolphins Club which offers an introduction to the sport and focuses on the foundations of all strokes, building stamina and having fun! The Age Group division which offers swimmers a chance to fine tune stroke techniques, build stamina, and prepare for USA and YMCA meets. The Senior division is for experienced and dedicated swimmers who are looking to compete at championship level USA and YMCA meets. Both the Age Group and Senior divisions offer participants to join USA Swimming with a yearly membership.
