Practice Schedule

The Hamden North Haven YMCA Swim Team focuses on having fun in their practices to allow for a greater love of the sport, but we also have a significant concentration on stroke technique and racing technique.  Our Coaching Staff has over 30 years of competitive swim experience and utilizes a large number of stroke development drills as well as innovative ways for swimmers to learn the drills.

Along with technique/stroke development, it is very important to us that our swimmers leading a healthy lifestyle in and out of the pool. With that said, we don’t just practice in the water, but we also offer dry-land training sessions that teach our swimmers proper (age-appropriate) ways to workout as well as more efficiently development muscle memory specific to the sport of swimming.
