YMCA of Greater Boston Swim Teams
All YMCA of Greater Boston Swim Teams are known as the Sea Dragons! The Sea Dragons Swim Team is a fun and supportive group where kids train together with great coaches to become strong, competitive swimmers. Our goal is to help each swimmer reach their best and compete with other teams from all over New England.
Children ages 6 to 17 who’ve finished Stage 5 or 6 swim lessons (based on YMCA levels), or the highest level
at another swim program, are welcome to try out!
See information about our centers and practice times below.
