The Dorchester YMCA, Hyde Park YMCA, and Roxbury YMCA have joined forces to form The Greater Boston YMCA Swim Team. We are committed to developing strong values, building self-esteem, and enabling each swimmer to meet his/her competitive potential. On our swim team, every swimmer is a champion. Swimmers celebrate goals through teamwork and sportsmanship. Emphasis is on doing one's best!
