Welcome to WGY Swimming!

We are an age group swim team offering training and practice groups for swimmers ages 6-18 and all ability levels. It is the goal of the Willow Grove Swim Team 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, while promoting the YMCA core values of honesty, respect, caring and responsibility.

We offer both winter and summer competitive swim seasons. Our winter season begins in Mid September and runs through early spring for our advanced swimmers. Our summer season begins in April/ May and runs through the end of July.

New swimmers wishing to join must be evaluated by a coach and meet the pre-requisites prior to registering for either our summer or winter team. Pre-requisites for swimmers 8 & under: must be able to swim a lap of freestyle with rotary breathing, a lap of backstroke and perform a basic dive. Pre-requisites for swimmers 9 & over: must be able to swim 2 laps freestyle with rotary breathing, 2 laps backstroke, flip turn and perform a basic dive. New swimmer evaluations take place on the first 2 weeks of clinic or the first 2 weeks of team. New swimmers must register for evaluation.

Returning swimmers do not need to be evaluated. They can be registered in their current swim group.

All swimmers on the team are expected to attend the regularly scheduled practices for their specific practice group -  however, they must commit to a minimum of 2 practices per week ( 3 practices per week for ages 13 & over) in order to be on the team. All swimmers are expected to attend the dual meets during the season. Invitationals are optional but strongly recommended.
