Coaches Letter May 4th 2025

James Young
Dear Swim Team Families,
Thank you all for a fantastic evening celebrating our amazing swimmers at our Awards Banquet! It was truly heartwarming to see our community come together to recognize the dedication, progress, and sportsmanship that each of our athletes has shown throughout the season.
We want to encourage all parents to continue staying connected with our coaching staff and the YMCA. Your partnership plays a crucial role in helping us support each swimmer’s growth—not just in the pool, but as part of a team. If you ever have questions, ideas, or want to discuss your swimmer’s development, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support your athlete every step of the way.
Looking ahead to summer, we have an exciting season in store! Our first meet is this weekend, and we hope to see strong participation across all age groups. Meets are a great opportunity for swimmers to showcase their hard work and enjoy the fun, competitive side of swimming. Let's keep the momentum going!
For those of you going to the Meet this Saturday, May 10th:  12 year olds and younger show up at Lehman University in the Bronx at 7:15 AM for Warm-up. 
13 and older, show up at 1:15 PM for warm up.
