I grew up in the Ygnacio Wood neighborhood, and to have such an awesome summer activity right on the doorstep of the neighborhood was such a blessing. The club is really relaxed, laid back, nice to head down to so you and friends can cool off in the water. The lifeguards are great and take a lot of pride in the cleanliness and safety of the club. Ygnacio Wood Swim Team is an excellent summertime activity for kids ages 3 – 18. I swam for the team for 10 years, and I can wholeheartedly say that they were some of the best times of my life. The camaraderie I enjoyed with friends over 13 years ago is still very much alive today. The attitude of the team runs the gamut of fun-seeking, carefree kids that love the events the team puts on,(most of which are either free or set at a very reasonable price), to competitive swimmers looking to compete in high school, and even at the college level. Several of the swimmers that have started their time on YWST have gone on to swim at very high levels in the sport. The price of the team is reasonable, considering the sheer volume of activities and events that are put on throughout the summer. The people on this team are really genuinely good people that will cheer for your kid even if they don’t know them. This team fosters good attitudes, friendship, and teamwork. The coaching staff is helpful, knowledgable, and will help your child grow in both the technique of the sport and in their maturity as a person. You as a parent will feel welcomed as a family member of YWST the day you set foot on the deck for the first time. Sign up for YWST. You will be happy you did, and your kids will enjoy years of good old-fashioned summertime fun away from the TV and the couch. You will love it!
