JETS Swim Team Set to Begin Practices at the Morris Hospital YMCA in September

One of the area’s most historic youth swimming clubs, the JETS Swim Team is a year-round competitive swim program that offers instruction and training for swimmers ages 6-17. 

The JETS support the YMCA’s mission of building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities, and our professional team of coaches strive to not only build strong swimmers but caring, honest, respectful, and responsible children and young adults. Swimmers learn the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and goal-setting while developing their competitive swimming skills.

We are excited to announce that the JETS will begin training at the new Morris Hospital YMCA beginning this fall! 

If your child is interested in joining the JETS, we invite you to participate in one of our upcoming swim clinics, which provide opportunities for swimmers to meet some of the coaches and learn new swim skills. Throughout each clinic, coaches will be evaluating swimmers to determine if they meet criteria to be placed on the team.
