Dolphins Swim Team

The Altavista Area YMCA Dolphin's Swim team has two seasons. The summer season starts in June, when schools get out, and lasts about eight weeks. The winter season starts the end of September and concludes the first of March. Children may sign up for either or both seasons. The summer season usually has three or four invitational meets and the winter season has approximately 10 dual-meets , several invitationals and a three day championship meet in March. All meets are held on Saturdays and no one is required to attend all meets. The Altavista YMCA Dolphin's Swim Team belongs to the PYSA league which consists of ten area YMCA swim teams.

Practices and meets are scheduled each season and posted for parents. A handout is given to all swimmers at the beginning of the season with all the information that parents and swimmers need.

The swim team is open to any child who can swim 25 yards freestyle and 25 yards back stroke. The summer season is open to members and non-members of the YMCA. For the winter season, the swimmer must be a member of the YMCA.

Summer fees are due at the time of registration. Winter fees can be paid on a monthly payment plan. Additional costs are bathing suits, goggles, and swim caps. Swim team fees will be posted at the time of registration.
