Welcome to the Melrose YMCA Sharks

We are a dual registered team that competes in the Eastern Massachusetts YMCA District League and in the New England Swimming LSC as a USA Swimming Team. 

About the Sharks

The Melrose Sharks Swim Team is a mission driven program based on the belief that all children can reach their full potential, as both an athlete and an individual, when given proper guidance and opportunity. The YMCA character values of caring, respect, responsibility and honesty are exhibited daily by our coaching staff and in return expected from our swimmers. Full attention is given to all swimmers who actively partake in the program, regardless of talent.

Competitive swimming is the sport our children participate in today; the experiences of self-determination, self-confidence, setting goals, perseverance, working hard, making friends, having fun, team-work and leadership shall last a lifetime.

The Melrose YMCA Sharks Swim Team competes in Division 1 of the Eastern Massachusetts YMCA District in addition to USA Swimming. From beginner to YMCA National level, the program is open to "mini-sharks" (5-6yrs) through high school
