Manta Ray Swim Team
The Manta Rays YMCA team is a great way to develop a life-long activity, create lasting relationships and have fun while learning good sportsmanship as well as the YMCA core values: honesty, caring, respect and responsibility. Swimmers compete with their own age and gender, but participate with boys and girls of a variety of ages.  Those looking for additional competition may opt to enroll in the USA swim organization.  Throughout the season, the team works on stroke technique, endurance, starts and turns.  There are also many social opportunities like team dinners, sleepovers, BBQs and much more. We look forward to meeting you and your swimmers.
