MYST (Swim Team)

Over the last two years over 200 youth have swum with the McGaw Y Swim Team (or MYST for short). Team swimmers range in age from 5 to 18 years and bring a wide range of experience, but they all show tremendous dedication. The MYST season runs through March 23, 2012.

2012 Chicago District Championship

MYST will be competing in the 2012 Chicago District Championship on March 3-4th at the Rex Plex in Pleasant Prairie, WI.  We hope to take as many MYST swimmers to the meet as possible.  For a swimmer to be eligible for this meet they need to achieve a District qualifying time for their age group and compete in 3 YMCA meets throughout the season.  We will be updating this site after each meet so you can see the list of eligible swimmers.
