YBAC Hurricanes

YBAC is a year-round competitive swim program dedicated to helping athletes reach their highest potential. We provide an atmosphere of challenging hard work and commitment that leads to excellence.

The YBAC team offers families and swimmers the flexibility to pursue their goals in swimming, while maintaining a family lifestyle and achieving academic excellence. Our most active swimmers are often on their school's honor roll!

While participation is voluntary for all practices and meets, swimmers will get out of the program what they’re willing to put into it.

Practices are held at the YMCA and the Maynard Aquatic Center. Transportation to the YMCA and MAC is available to students from many area schools through the YMCA After-School Program.

We offer three tracks in our swim program; Technique and Fitness, Competitive Program and High Performance. All tracks are designed to provide the most up-to-date instructions, training and experience available.

Technique & Fitness Track  - This track is ideal for swimmers who may be new to year-round swimming, are involved in various other activities or are looking to get in or keep in shape.  Swimmers in this track have the opportunity to participate in local/Intrasquad and YMCA swim meets.

Competitive Track - This track is designed for swimmers with some previous swim team experience and a willingness to explore their full potential in the pool. USA Swimming and YMCA swim meets are encouraged but optional.

High Performance Track - This track places an emphasis on competition and year-round training in preparation for success at all levels of competitive swimming.  Swimmers need to have the Desire, Commitment and Passion to work toward maximum potential.  Meets are required for this track.
