Bedford-Stuyvesant YMCA
Young swimmers build strength, speed and endurance while refining their stroke technique in our swim team.
Bedford Stuyvesant YMCA Piranhas Swim Team
Ages 7-17
The Piranhas swim team is for boys and girls who can swim at the Stage 5 level, can swim all four (freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke and butterfly) competitive strokes with good form and technique, and have the approval of Bedford-Stuyvesant YMCA coaching staff.
Our season runs September-June. The team practices four times per week (pool & dry land workout) and compete in local, city-wide, and state-wide meets. All participants are required to be members of the New York City's YMCA. All participants must try out to be on the team, by appointments only.
Practice Schedule
- Tuesdays and Thursdays: 5 pm to 6:30 pm
- Fridays: 6 pm -7:30 pm
- Sundays: 3 pm - 4:30 pm
Try-outs for the swim team start in July for if you are not presently a member of our swim team.
Group lessons aren't for everyone. One-on-one time with a YMCA swim instructor might be just what you need.
Looking for a great summer job or career? The YMCA offers lifeguarding classes and hires qualified lifeguard in all five boroughs.
We offer swim classes for infants, kids, teenagers, and adults year-round at our indoor pools across the city.
