*Please Note
The lap pool is closed to patrons during swim team practice as all lanes are used at this time. The warm pool is closed to patrons during Ai Chi class, Tuesdays at 11AM, and Aquacise class, Tuesdays at 5:20 AM, as the whole pool is used at this time.
Unless a pool is closed to patrons for another activity both the warm pool and hook area of the lap pool will always welcome adults with children 4 years and under.
Reminder
During Family/Open Swim, children 6 years and under must be accompanied by an adult who is out of highschool or older IN the water with them at all times, with the exception of those who have a Nanny Agreement on file.
Swim Team
The Columbus Youth Swim Club (CYSC) is our competitive swim team with weekly practices and monthly meets. Becoming a member of the YMCA Swim Team means fun, fitness and teamwork. The YMCA swim team is a competitive swim program designed to challenge and grow swimmers both in and out of the water. Trained coaches focus on stroke technique as well as endurance and fitness during practices to improve swimmer’s times as they work toward their end of season goals. The YMCA swim team promotes healthy lifestyles while embracing the four core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.
Swimmers who participate must be able to swim 25 yards (one length) of the pool using both the freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers must know and understand the basic concepts of swimming – this is NOT swimming lessons. Emphasis will be placed upon stroke instruction, endurance, sportsmanship and having fun.
Swim Team has two sessions (see below). Swimmer(s) must register for the first session to be able to swim in the second session. Swim team participants are required to be YMCA member—Nebraska YMCA Swim League policy.
Swimmers must be registered prior to the first meet in October to swim. All new swimmers will swim with a coach the first week of practice to make sure they qualify for the swim team. If for any reason the child is unable to successfully complete the swim, the family will be refunded in full for the cost of the session.
