The mission and goal of the YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge swimming is to develop each swimmer's maximum potential both in the water and out in a safe, healthy and positive environment.  We focus not only on developing swimmers from beginner to advanced abilities but also on helping each swimmer grow into strong, confident, and well rounded citizens.  We strive to help each individual swimmer pursue their personal goals while building and encourage team unity and support.  We use a progressive, age appropriate developmental approach to train and prepare athletes for long term success.
