We are a competitive coed YMCA swim team of 40+ years. We are 50+ members strong and have a strong community/parent group. We currently have Olympic Trial, National, National and Regional Y qualifiers and numerous league All-Star swimmers. We have had one past Olympian and World Record holder. We encourage swimmers of all abilities to join our program for a life-long experience.
 

SWIM TEAM PHILOSOPHY
The purpose of competitive swimming is to provide young boys and girls an opportunity to participate in competitive swimming under conditions that will foster skillful aquatic ability, good fellowship, team and association loyalty, a finer appreciation of swimming for its own sake and not for just winning, and sportsmanship of a high type on the part of spectators as well as swimmers and officials.
We think the past swim teams at the Marietta Y had some of the finest young people in this area. We intend to see this tradition continue.
 

The Marlins is not only an excellent swim team, but has grown to be an outstanding family organization as well. We are very fortunate to have so many willing parents involved. The coaches certainly appreciate the help from the parents who have helped in the past and ask for assistance again this season with this years parents.
 

WHAT IS REQUIRED TO JOIN THE SWIM TEAM?
Anyone between the ages of 5 and 18 who can swim 25 yards (one length of the pool) can join the team. He or she must be a member of the Y and be approved by the coaches. If you have any questions about your swimming skills meeting the requirements, please contact one of the coaches and they will set up a time to evaluate your skill. Swimmers may join the team anytime during the season but all fees (Y membership and team fee) must be paid by the swimmer's first practice.
 

We are affialited with the Southeast Ohio Y Swim League.
