Swim Team
Building excellence in swimming through an emphasis on teamwork and character development by providing a safe, healthy, and positive environment for athletes.
The Frederick County YMCA Tidal Force swim team participates in both a summer and a winter league. We compete as a team in scored, dual meets as well as optional invitational meets throughout both seasons. Our team is a competitive swimming program that promotes youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Participants build character values through personal improvement, training, goal-setting, teamwork and competition. In between the winter and summer seasons, the Team offers a competitive stroke clinic to keep swimmers active. In addition we offer a USA swimming option for our swimmers.
