Fall/Winter Season: September 14 - February 21. (21 Weeks. We take the weeks of Nov. 23rd and Dec. 21st off.)

He has been teaching swim lessons for over 7 years and is a nationally recognized YMCA Swim Lessons Instructor Trainer. This season he was elected as an officer to the Carolina YMCA Swim League.

BYAC & Tiger Shark Swim Team assistants vary from season to season. A parent advisory board is in place to help guide the activities of the BYAC and Tiger Sharks.
Potential swim team participants must meet with Coach Rick or Coach Tim before sign-up to become oriented with the program. Season costs vary; financial aid and scholarships are available.
For more information about the upcoming season or the program in general, contact Rick Simonds: Head Swim Team Coach, aquaticsymca@hotmail.com.
Lap Swimming.
 2 lanes are available at all times for lap swimming. If both lanes have swimmers in them, we will try to make more lanes available. However, sometimes other programs do not make this possible. In these cases, we ask that you swim in a circle in the lanes. Stay to the right side always, just as you would driving a car.- During Swim team we will only be able to open one lane for free swim due to the growth of our program. Thank you for understanding!
