Swim Team
The Carlisle Family YMCA offers a competitive swimming program for youth ages 5-18 that competes in both YMCA and USA Swimming. The program includes development and training for all levels from the novice swimmer who can complete one length of the pool unassisted to the national elite. No tryouts are held. We encourage sportsmanship, teach a strong work ethic and make the sport enjoyable for swimmers and their families. The team is divided into 3 teams: Green, White and Gold. See below for more details on each team.
PLEASE NOTE: All swim team members must have a Y Membership (youth, teen or family) that is effective by the first day of practice through the last day of practice. (The only exception is for high school swimmers. A USA Swimming membership still is mandatory for these swimmers and they can swim in USA meets, but they cannot compete in any YMCA meets.)
Thank you to Daily Express, Inc. and Michael Pasquarett for sponsoring the CARY Sharks!
PLEASE NOTE: Refunds will not be given after November 14, 2025.
