The Watertown Family YMCA Blue Sharks offers training and practice groups for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. It is the goal of the Watertown Family YMCA Blue Sharks to offer age specific training for all of our athletes geared towards challenging each individual and developing each individual to the best of THEIR abilities.

The Watertown Blue Sharks is a competitive swim team from Watertown, NY pulling swimmers from around the North Country. We are in the Central New York YMCA league, with practices running from late September until early February or March. Also, we send many swimmers to the New York State YMCA Swimming Championship meet in March annually and sometimes even a few to the YMCA National Meet. All swimmers compete within their age group, broken down as follows:

A: 15 - 19yrs      B: 13 - 14yrs      C: 11 - 12yrs      D: 9 - 10yrs      E: 8 & under
