With swim teams throughout the state, the YMCA of Delaware’s competitive program offers children and teens an opportunity to work with trained coaches to improve swimming skills, endurance, and promote a healthy lifestyle. Participants build character values through personal improvement, training, goal-setting, teamwork, and competition. Teams compete locally, regionally and nationally. Swimmers progress as participants, role models, and leaders.

Get ready to move! We offer tumbling, movement (for toddlers), and gymnastics classes for youth. Depending on the age and ability of the child, participants will stretch, enhance their flexibility, learn and master certain moves.
Volleyball
BUMP, SET, SPIKE! Youth learn new skills, make new friends, develop essential character traits, and set individual and team goals. This improves self-confidence, promotes diversity, increases self-esteem, and improves physical condition.
