The Oneonta Family YMCA Orca Swim Team provides children with an opportunity to enjoy their swim team experience. Our focus is to create a positive environment where swimmers will develop  mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially. We motivate all swimmers to do their best and work hard in all aspects. We reinforce the core values of the YMCA; caring, respect, responsibility, and honesty throughout practices and swim meets. Our goals include:

¨ Gaining confidence in individual abilities

¨ Building team spirit and interconnectedness

¨ Fostering good sportsmanship and positive attitudes

¨ Identifying self worth and values

¨ A spirit of truth, honesty, and integrity
