2023-2024 Swim Season
Come be a part of a great aquatics experience! The Sea Turtle Swim Team is a developmental swim program run by trained coaches to improve swimmers’ competitive skills and endurance through progression rather than intense competition. The Y swim team promotes healthy lifestyles while embracing the four core values of respect, responsibility, honesty and caring.
The tryouts for this season have concluded.

Practices:
Practices will be held at the Somerville YMCA pool on Mondays (3:30-5:30pm) and at the Ginny Smithers pool Tuesdays and Thursdays (occasional Wednesdays). Your swimmer will be assigned a group from either 5:00-6:00pm or 6:00-7:00pm.
Swim Meets
Since it is a competitive team, we do have swim meets. Yearly we have about 4 dual meets (about 2-3 hours long) they are held at either at the Ginny Smithers Pool or the opposing team’s pools. They are on the weekends, and attendance is mandatory for at least 2 meets. We try to get the schedule out during the first month of practice to plan accordingly.
There are 2 additional championship meets that swimmers can qualify by their times for.
Pricing
The price for the 2023-2024 season will be $550. In addition to the fee, you will need to purchase a swimsuit (cost is between $35-$65 depending on the decided upon suit). The YMCA has a long-standing tradition of not denying anyone committed to swimming from doing so. We have various payment plans, sliding-scale fees, and limited financial grants to accomplish this goal. Financial consideration should not be the deciding factor on whether your child participates.
