Summer Swim Programs
YMCA/USA Summer Swim Team
The Illinois Valley YMCA Dolphin swim team is looking to continue its fun and success in the Short Course (Fall/Winter) season by expanding its summer program to create a more year-round program. Swimmers that are Bronze, Silver, and Gold level swimmers may participate in the summer season. The summer fees will be the same as fall; $25/month Bronze, $35/month Silver, and $40/month Gold. Payment is due at the start of the season. There is also a $20.00 team fee per swimmer.
If your swimmer wishes to participate in the USA meets they would then have to register with USA swimming ($77 fee). If you choose to register, the team would collect the fee and submit the paperwork for your membership in USA swimming.
