The Montclair YMCA Swim Team offers a year-round opportunity for competitive swimming in both YMCA and USA Swimming competitions. The team is comprised of girls and boys from age 6 through high school graduation.

The major objective is to offer the competitive swimmer a fun and challenging program, which facilitates optimization of each participant's potential. The Montclair YMCA coaching staff stresses individual self-improvement as each swimmer's primary goal. Training in stroke techniques, speed, and conditioning/endurance are customized to ability and age to help achieve this goal. All swimmers learn and train all of the competitive strokes with the attention to "specialties" as they gain experience and demonstrate success.
