WSY Pre Competitive Program FAQ
Tell me more about your
Pre-Competitive Programs. What if my child only
wants to swim one day per week?
 We
have three
(3)
different programs for our Pre-Competitive swimmer.
The first program is called "Take Your Mark".
This program meets on
Friday evenings from 6:15-7:15pm,
beginning in September and continuing through the
Christmas holiday. There are no swim meets only
learning of all the competitive swimming strokes, and
becoming proficient in those strokes. The only
requirement for participants is to be able to swim a
length (25 yards/75 feet) of the pool on your stomach
and back, unassisted. The second
part of this program is called our Mini Team.
This program starts in January and continues through the
end of March. This program is meant to be an
extension of the Take Your Mark program. We add
two (2) intra squad meets during this program, which
will occur on Sunday afternoons at the
YMCA, lasting one hour.
Our next Pre-Competitive Program is called "Just
For Fun". This program meets on Sundays from
4:30-5:30pm and will begin the end of September
and run through the end of March. This program is
very similar to the Friday night program BUT there are
no swim meets involved, and it is held on Sunday
afternoons for those that might not make Friday
evenings. These programs are held at the YMCA
3 What
if my child is involved in other activities?
We
have many children
in our program that participate in other activities.
Our pre-competitive program offers practice times on
Friday evenings or Sunday afternoons. There are no
"attendance requirements". To register
for either of these two pre-competitive programs, fill
out the
Pre-Competitive Registration form, and return it to
the YMCA member service desk (or mail to the YMCA) with
the
appropriate fee. If your child is
"unsure" if he/she wants to participate, fill out the
registration form (so we
 have
record of you attending), return it to the YMCA with a
note saying that you are going to take advantage of the
two week trial.
After two weeks, if your child would like to continue,
you can pay the appropriate fees at that time.

Do I have to participate in swim Meets??
The children in the
Take Your Mark and Mini Team will have opportunities to
participate in several intra-squad type meets in January
and March of 2010. These meets are held at the
YMCA, and last one hour, and every child will receive
ribbons and "treats" for their efforts. Children
in the Just for Fun (Sunday) group are welcome to
participate in these meets as well. Those children
that are advancing through the Pre-Competitive programs,
and wish to move into our
competitive program, will have that option made
available to them as well.
Can
I join anytime?
Yes, you may join the pre-competitive
groups anytime
throughout the year as space permits. We do have Swimmer:Coach Ratio's in all
practice groups.
What
is the cost to join the team?
