Make plans to attend our 2020 Long Course* tryouts and enjoy being part of our YMCA competitive swim team. HAY Lightning Swim Team provides opportunities for youth to exhibit excellence in the water surrounded by teamwork, commitment, and friendship. This is an experience that truly builds skills and confidence, inspires camaraderie and loyalty, and demonstrates caring and support.
Boys and girls age 6 through high school are invited to tryout for the opportunity to participate in weekly practices and meets during the coming season.
The HAY Lighting Swim Team practices at all 3 of our branches and participates in swim meets throughout the area, and offers a year round opportunity for competitive swimming in both YMCA and USA Swimming, as well as seasonal clinics for aspiring competitive athletes.

At the Y, we recognize that successful youth development requires a holistic approach focused on achieving certain social-emotional, cognitive and physical milestones. Youth need positive adult and peer role models, and they need to feel physically and emotionally safe to thrive. Our caring coaches nurture children along their journey to adulthood, so they can become active, thriving and contributing members of society.
TRYOUT DETAILS:
Potential team participants should attend (1) of the following tryouts:
Friday, 2/14 at the Franklin Y 6:30 – 7:30 PM
Tuesday, 2/18 at the North Attleboro Y 4:30 – 5:30 PM
Wednesday, 2/19 at the Foxboro Y 7:30 – 8:30 PM
You do not need to pre-register, but all swimmers should arrive about 15 minutes before the stated time with your suit on and goggles in hand. You only need to attend one of these tryouts and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact haylightning@hockymca.org. Good luck to all swimmers!
* called Long Course because of the 50-yard pool used for swim meets. Our Long Course season follows the previous Short Course season, and will run through the spring and into early summer.
