If you are homeschooled and love to swim, we would love to have you join our high school team which starts on Monday, November 3rd! Please note that this team is primarily for 8th-12th grade, but we do have options for younger swimmers. 
 
Registration for Team
There are two ways to join based on whether or not you are looking for additional practices or if you are just looking to attend high school meets as outlined below.
 
Swim Meets Only - Is meant for YMCA swimmers already doing our regular fall/winter season or for club swimmers who want to compete with us, but don't need the practices. The fee for members is $75 and $100 for non-members. 
 
 
Practices and Meets - Meant for swimmers who are not already part of our YMCA team or another team. It includes practices for November 3rd - February 1st. Price for members is $225 and $345 for non-members.

Practices
If you are looking to do practices with us, we have several options to train with our Y Fall/Winter Team. Please note that we will not have any group practices 12/6-1/11 as our YMCA does not have practices during this time. Workouts will be sent out by request for athletes still looking to practice while our Y team is on break.

Please let me know if you have any questions I can help with, and we hope to see you all soon!
 
Officials Needed
 
We have been asked to help with officials for our VHSL swim meets. There is an online training required to be an official at these meets. I will send out the link once it is posted as we would love to be able to help the home team with this request since they are accepting us to their meets. 
 
Athlete Requirements
Other than registering, we have two more requirements this year to comply by the High School Leagues policies for doing competitions. 
  1.  
  1. Sports Physical Examination: This year both leagues are asking athletes have a sports physical exam done in order to compete in competition. Please have the attached forms filled out for your athlete. We will need to have these collected by December 1st. 
 
  1. Report Cards: We also need report cards that show that they are taking/passing 5 classes which is another requirement to compete. We understand that some students will have report cards from an organized group or online service while others may be created by their parents. We accept whatever you have and please feel free to reach out with any questions.
