The Boonslick Heartland YMCA is the proud host of the
Boonville Blue Marlins Swim Team
Fall and Winter Practice Squads
Fall Season
For our Fall 2022 and Winter 2023 seasons, we are going back to the basics to strengthen our squad as a future swim team and to help each individual reach their full potential. Practice squad will not include meets but will allow our participants to strengthen their skills so they may be ready for our Summer Swim Team.
Qualifications for Practice Squad
Mini Marlins
Participants must be able to swim unassisted to the end of the pool and back. We ask that your child have a good feel for the water, enjoy being involved in water sports and be ready to follow instructions so they may learn to be a confident swimmer.
Skill focus for Mini Marlins will include: dive training, stroke development, and endurance.
Blue Marlins Practice Squad
Participants should be ready to work on mastering the 4 basic swim strokes. These include fly, back, breast and freestyle. In this practice squad, the group will focus on becoming faster and more efficient in the water while working independently with instructions from our swim coach.
