FAQs

What makes the CYAC swim team program special?

Our coaching staff develops each swimmer's proficiency in all four competitive strokes by emphasizing proper stroke techniques and age-appropriate training with a positive, friendly and fun atmosphere. We offer all swimmers ample opportunitties to participate regardless of skill level.

Both YMCA and USA swim meets are available to CYAC team members during the winter and summer swim seasons, several with little or no travel.

My children participate in other sports and school activities, how does CYAC fit in with these and good grades?

CYAC offers flexible opportunities for swimmers to build on their swimming skills and abilities during the winter swim season. Many of our swimmers participate in other seasonal sports, such as soccer or basketball, and in various arts programs.

CYAC families find that the continuity of winter swimming provides their children with a great work ethic, friendships, and better grades. Studies have shown that children who are more active in sports tend to do better in school, be less likely to have many of the normal teen problems, and provides support and friendship during key formative years.

Why should we chose YMCA swimming?

The CYAC/Piedmont Family YMCA swim team promotes character development by challenging all persons involved in the program to accept and demonstrate the YMCA's core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility

CYAC is the only YMCA and USA swim team for Charlottesville and the surrounding areas and has served the developing swimmers of the region for over 25 years.
