The Boonslick Heartland YMCA is the proud host of the
Boonville Blue Marlins Swim Team

The focus of the team is on providing each individual the opportunity to become a better swimmer, build character, and compete with good sportsmanship.
The Boonslick Heartland YMCA Blue Marlins swim team is a competitive team (during the summer season we compete) whose goal is to provide swimmers the opportunity to improve their swimming and competitive skills, and to enable each swimmer to achieve success at his/her individual level of ability.
