Rules that Govern YMCA Competitive Swimming

Everyone wants, and should have, an equal opportunity to compete and a fair chance to win. Rules are needed to specify conditions that must be met by all players, coaches, managers, and administrators.

The attached rules apply to closed formal YMCA sports competition. When a YMCA athlete or team enters open competition, the eligibility requirements of the governing body of the sport concerned apply.

These rules provide definitions and procedures for holding sports competitions. We look to the integrity of the player, coach, manager, and administrator to follow the spirit of the rules developed for healthy competitive sports.
