Our coaches have been competitive swimmers and swim instructors with combined coaching experience of over 20 seasons. The West Y coaches begin the season teaching and refining the four competitive swimming strokes.
Instruction is given for executing fast starts, turns, and finishes.
These skills are emphasized throughout the season while swimmers build up their aerobic conditioning. West Y swimmers experience both individual and team competition and success. Emphasis is placed not only on swimming to the best of their ability, but swimmers are also taught self-discipline and sportsmanship. Our goal is to help parents develop young men and women of character.
