| Program Information |
| The Lionville Community YMCA competitive swimming program (LCY) is a non-profit organization directed by the Competitive Aquatic Director (a full-time
employee of the YMCA) and supported by parent volunteers. LCY offers
competitive swimming programs for all age/ability levels that start each fall,
winter, spring and summer. |
| LCY is affiliated nationally with the YMCA of the USA and USA
Swimming, the official governing body for competitive swimming in the United
States. Locally, LCY participates in the Penn-Del
Swimming League (YMCA) and Middle Atlantic Swimming (USA). |
LCY Swimming reorganized the competitive swimming program in the Summer of 1999 under the direction of Competitive Aquatic Director Dave Williams.
LCY operates a two-season competitive swimming program with Summer and Winter programs.
Each program offers multiple training levels to meet the needs of children ages 7-18.
Swimmers are evaluated by the coaching staff prior to each season and placed in levels based on swimming ability, maturity and age.
Pre-season clinics are offered in the spring and fall for conditioning and teaching or reviewing stroke progressions (REQUIRED FOR NEW SWIMMERS).
It is highly recommended that swimmers participate in both the spring and fall clinic, as well as the summer program, in order to facilitate their progression through the YMCA's program levels.

The preferred swim fin is the Speedo Optimus Training Fin for swimmers 9&Older.
The Speedo Trialon Rubber Swim Fin is preferred for swimmers 8&Under.
