Summer Swim Team

Lakota YMCA Stingrays Summer Swim Team

About Us

This program is a recreational/competitive SUMMER ONLY swim team that competes in the Tri-County Swim League.  We focus on swimmers agaes 5 - 18 years old.

REGISTER HERE!

How To Join

Pre-requisite to participate on the swim team is being able to swim Freestyle and Backstroke for 25 meters with no support and no help in the water by June 1, 2026.  If unable, the coach reserves the right to request them to move to the YMCA's Swim Lesson Program to better their swimming skills.  We want this to be a fun and safe environment for swimmers to develop their strokes.

We will be holding a Swim Team Evaluation for NEW SWIMMERS ONLY:

  Coaches will evaluate the swimmers' stroke mechanics and make sure that they can meet the requirements to join the summer team.  This will also give everyone a chance to meet the coaches.

Results of the evaluations will be emailed to parents/guardians no later than Wednesday, May 6th. If the swimmer passed the evaluations, the email will include information on how to register for the summer team. A swimmer may also be put on a wait list depending on available space by age group. 

Parent Meeting

Please join us Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 6:00 PM at Lakota Family YMCA.  This meeting will cover important topics like practice times, meet schedule, meet and volunteer requirements, how to register for meets, special events and more. We will also have SwimVille here for the team suit fitting and all your other swim accessory needs.
