Mexico Marlins Swim Team

The swim team is open to youth 6 to 18 years of age. Interested participants that were not members of

the team in the previous season are required to try out for the team. The try out includes demonstrating

the ability to perform the freestyle stroke (crawl), backstroke, and breaststroke. To try out for the team

register at our website and you will be contacted to set up a time for the try out.

You can also register at the front desk of the Mexico YMCA.

The swim team is divided into two separate seasons, Fall/Winter which runs September through March

and Spring/Summer which runs May through mid-July. You may participate in both seasons or only one

of the seasons. The Fall/Winter season is the official YMCA season and requires that all participants be

members of the Mexico Area Family YMCA. The Spring/Summer season does not require YMCA

membership but does have a higher registration fee for non-members.
