Youth Swim Team
The Keene Family YMCA Dolphins Swim Team trains athletes between the ages of 6 and 18 to become competitive swimmers.
We believe that competitive swimming is a fantastic way for kids to grow and stay active, while also teaching them the importance of being a good sport, doing well in school, getting involved in the community, and staying fit for life. Our coaches will work closely with your child to set goals and achieve them
About the Team
The Keene Family YMCA Dolphins (KYD), one of New Hampshire’s oldest swim teams, participates in about twenty swim meets throughout the year, including league, state and regional championships.
Our winter season runs from September through March, while our long course season runs from April through July.
Competitive swimming requires a significant commitment of time, energy, and effort. The team relies on the dedication of every swimmer and their families to ensure smooth operations. Practice sessions occur 2 to 5 times weekly, involving both pool and dryland training.
Joining the Team
The Keene YMCA Dolphins is open to swimmers ages 6–18. All team members are required to maintain an active membership with the Keene Family YMCA.
Swimmers new to the swim team will have an evaluation with a team coach to assess their skills and determine training group placement. If a swimmer is not yet ready for the team, recommendations will be made to help them develop the skills needed to join in the future.
To join the team, swimmers must complete the current season’s registration packet. This packet includes health forms, proof of active YMCA membership and signed acknowledgments of both the Swimmer and Parent Codes of Conduct. As a dual-affiliated YMCA and USA Swimming team, all swimmers are also required to register as members of USA Swimming.
If you are interested in joining the Dolphins, please contact our Head Coach, Pedr Seymour, for more information.
