The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives. And the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in sports at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.

Build confidence and take your skills to the next level with the Fair Acres Family YMCA's Kraken Swim Team! In this program swimmers, coaches, and parents work together to develop first-class swimmers and youth who embody the Y core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
