Register for winter by November 23 |
Our fall season ends December 5 and our winter season begins December 6.
Once you've confirmed your spot, please register for the winter season on Community Pass by Tuesday, November 23.
If you are not currently swimming with us, you can email Pete beginning November 15 to check availability. We are at capacity with most groups, but there may be a few open spots. |

Tips for registering for winter |
If you're registering for the winter season on Community Pass, here are some tips:
-
2021-22 YWCA Facility Fee - Current swimmers don’t need to add. You may be prompted to pay this but the system won't allow you to add it to your cart if you're a current swimmer (it will say Not Eligible).
-
2022 USA Swimming Membership Fee - Most swimmers need to add this. Memberships are only good for one calendar year (Jan 1 – Dec 31). Unless you paid this in the fall, you will need to add (if you’re not sure, you can check in View Registrations).
-
2022 USA Swimming Membership Form - Most swimmers need to fill out this form and return it to a coach. You should see a link to the form when registering.
-
YWCA 2022 Admin Fee - This is due for all swimmers registering for the winter season.
For boys beginning their high school seasons soon: Please renew your USA Swimming membership for 2022 and pay your YWCA 2022 Admin Fee if you plan to do any meets in February and March when you return.

Lend a Hand and make the holidays brighter for others |
Help domestic violence survivors and their families by participating in our annual Lend a Hand program, which provides gifts that survivors can choose by "shopping" in the YWCA holiday store.
Your support gives these families, who often flee their homes with nothing, the joy of holiday giving and receiving. They can experience the pleasure of shopping for loved ones and choosing gifts from a wide array of items.
Here's how it works:
- Select a tag from the Lend a Hand display in the front vestibule of the YWCA.
- Shop for the item on your own OR make a cash donation and we will shop for you.
- You can also send cash/checks with your swimmers and they can give them to their coaches at practice.
Please deliver all gifts (unwrapped) and monetary donations to the YWCA by Monday, December 13.
Questions? Contact Trimmy Stamell. Thank you for making a difference for the families served by the YWCA. |

- Our front entrance and renovated lobby are now open. The lobby is for passing through only. Due to public health guidelines, swimmers/families should not congregate there.
- If your practice is in the small pool, please continue to line up outside by the small pool door. After practice, swimmers using the small pool will exit through the lobby.
- Swimmers using the big pool should continue entering the building at the Ridge Avenue entrance and exiting through the lobby.
- Swimmers are welcome to use the vending machines in the lobby as they exit.
