The success of the Door County YMCA swim team begins with the first fall sessions starting next month. YMCA Youth Development Executive Paul Briney says the Fall Prep Swim program basically prepares the kids for the competitive swimming season that starts in November.  He expects the excitement surrounding the recently concluded Summer Olympics in Paris will motivate many kids to participate this year.

The Fall Prep Swim program is set up after school hours at the Door County YMCA and is held at the Carla and Ellsworth Aquatic Center in Sturgeon Bay.  Last year, over 140 swimmers participated in the swim team that holds a "Midnight Swim" event to kick off the season in late October.  You can find more information about the DCY Swim Team here.   Registration for all Fall 1 programs begins next Monday, August 19, for members and on Wednesday, August 21, for non-members.
