FAQs
Grown-Up Swimming? What the heck is that?
A goofy league for folks 18 and over who want to have a laid-back atmosphere to race and be social.
Kinda like slow pitch softball?
Exactly, or summer league swimming for grownups.
Cookouts? Are there really cookouts?
Yep, most of the host pools will run a grill and concession stand for all of your caloric needs! Alcoholic beverages are not allowed during the meet, and may not be allowed at all based on pool rules.
I can’t just leave my kids at home to swim in a meet…
Bring ‘em! You need a cheering squad, we need timers, and most meets will start off with a “multi- generation” relay, so you can even swim with them!
I'm not a member of the YMCA, can I practice/workout elsewhere?
Yes! You can swim at whatever pool is most convenient for you. Our captains are based out of the Y, so that is the only reason we chose it as our 'home base'. You are not even required to practice with other members of the team. We're more like accountability partners with matching t-shirts.
I haven't ever competed in a meet before, is this league right for me?
Yes! If you can make it to one side of the pool from the other without scaring the lifeguard, we want you to be on our team!
Do I have to swim the workouts provided?
No, we just offer workouts that we think will benefit you! You can do your own thing if you choose!
Do I have to workout at the practice times listed?
No, we are just posting when there are lap swim lanes available
