YWNC Costs 10-11

All swimmers must be a member of the YMCA. There is an annual $56 per swimmer registration fee that goes to USA Swimming for registration. Swim team program fees are drafted monthly from September to May (pro-rated for late season starts) or may be paid in one lump sum payment. Swim meet fees are paid as the meets come up. They are $18.50 for one day, $33 for two days and $45 for three days (and $55 for four days if needed).

The YWNC Piranhas are a year round YMCA competitive swim team. We are sanctioned by the YMCA and by USA Swimming. This means that YWNC Piranha swimmers compete in both YMCA and USA competitions. We have found this provides our swimmers the opportunity to compete at the best level for their ability. The YMCA provides the team with structure based on the Y mission and the four core values. The Piranhas practice group structure is designed by the coaches to help all swimmers to develop and be challenged no matter what their ability may be. There is a place for every ability level of swimmer to be challenged and flourish. In addition to the full team program, the Piranhas also offer pre-team Pips and masters programs. The PIPs (Piranhas in Progress) group is for 4-6 year olds. It meets monthly, two days a week for 45 minutes. This program runs October thru May. Class is limited to 10. A swimming assessment is a prerequisite for entry. The Masters program offers coached training sessions two mornings a week for adults. This group is made up of adults with a variety of swimming backgrounds. They swim 9 months in the Reuter Y and 2 1/2 months during the summer outdoors at Rec Park Pool.
