Will there be a swim test? What swim proof do I need?

We don’t administer a swim test, however we require that all junior members, if asked, be able to produce a swim proof stating they can swim 50 yards without stopping. You are not required to bring your child’s swim proof unless asked. Your child can take a swim test at any YMCA by appointment. We also accept

  • YMCA Fish Level or above certificate
  • Red Cross Level V swimming certificate
  • a Boy/Girl Scout swimming merit badge
  • US Sailing Level 1 Small Boat Instructor certificate
  • a letter stating swimming ability signed by a lifeguard on pool or school letterhead
  • this form completed by a reputable pool/lifeguard

Please keep your swim proof on file at home, as we may request it at any time.
