Your swimmer will need a one piece suit for females, jammers or speedo for males, swim cap, goggles, and towel. Fins will be available to use but we do not guarantee we will have your swimmers size. We will offer an opportunity to purchase them from our supplier or you may purchase them on your own. Swim fins should be long, flexible, and preferably ones that will float.

****Severe Weather Policy****

In the event of severe weather, we ask that parents remain close to the YMCA Facility in the case practice is suspended or cancelled. The pool will be closed if lighting or thunder is observed in the area. We will follow local snow emergency guidelines in the case of inclement weather.

It's important that we have the correct contact information and at least one emergency contact information so that we can keep you informed of such events. We will do our best to make the decisions to cancel meets or practices with as much notice as possible.
