Competitive Sports
At the Y, we focus on confidence building and developing new skills, but these competitive sports help kids compete at the next level.
Swim Team

Swimmers have competitive opportunities at the local, regional and national levels of both the YMCA and USA Swimming. You must be a YMCA of Greater Cincinnati member to participate in our competitive swim program.
