We will subdivide the athletes into 5 different Dual Meet Teams to afford ech swimmer the opportunity to compete o na regular basis within the level of their talents.  Our Dual Meet Teams are subdivided as Boys A and B, and Girls A, B, and C teams.  Each team will have its own dual meet schedule against other YMCA teams of comparable abilities.  We are also a registered USA Swimming organization, which affords us the opportunity for additional and varied competitions against a wider range of teams.
