1. We look forward to seeing everyone at tryouts. Please arrive early so we can make sure we get started on time. One important note. New rules to enhance pool cleanliness have been adpoted here at the YMCA and all swimmers in our pools should be wearing bathing caps at all times. Caps are available for purchase at the front desk at the Y. They have latex, silicon and cloth available.
 
2. All 13/O athletes returning to the team DO NOT need to try out but we would like you to come volunteer at at least 1, but preferably two of the tryout sessions. Please e-mail Jon which days you can come.
 
3. A note about the fall/winter schedule and very exciting news. After literally years of trying to figure out how to do this and satisfy all groups needs, we have re-done much of the pool schedule for many reasons but from our perspective to move the youngest kids on the team into the warmer pool most of the time and some of the more advanced athletes into the colder pool. This has been a jigsaw puzzle and it is not finalized as of yet, but most of the teams groupings will be new and different with some recycled names (we will be taking group name suggestions) The coaching staff is very excited about this because it will create opportunities to do more developing the team for the present and the future.
 
Monday through Thursday, most athletes practices will begin no earlier then 5:30 and will end by 7:30 however some of the high school athletes practices will end at 9:15. The exception is some of the more developed 11-14 year olds (previously the two fastest lanes in the Junior group) who's practice times will begin at 4:00 in the large pool.
 
Fridays will be similar to what it has been and weekends we will have the ability to offer more practice times which will be able to run even on Saturdays when we have dual meets.
 
We will do our best to get a more detailed schedule out in the next week or so, but as always until we finish tryouts groups will be up in the air so athletes will not know where they fit in until then. We just wanted to give everyone's personal schedule a heads up.

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.
