Welcome to the
Macomb YMCA Marlins
Swim Team Web Site

The Marlins Swim Team is also affiliated with USA Swimming, providing our swimmers with the utmost flexibility in competitive swimming.

With the Marlins, everyone swims, and everyone wins!!

The purpose of the Macomb Marlins Swim Team is to encourage youths to develop strong minds and bodies, to become self-disciplined and exhibit good sportsmanship and team spirit. Swimming offers the advantage of team and individual accomplishments. The Marlins swim for enjoyment and the improvement of strokes and technique. As a YMCA team, we do not cut swimmers. Currently, YMCA swimming in Michigan consists of approximately 25 to 30 teams in southern Michigan. Our swim team has been in existence for over 40 years, and we continue to be one of the largest swim "FAMILIES" in Macomb County. The Marlins offer a program that will fit any swimmer's ability or competitive drive.
