Swim Program

About the RANY Sharks:

The RANY Sharks swim team is a competitive year round program.  We compete in both YMCA and USA Swim meets throughout the season.  Our fall program starts in September and continues through March depending upon the swimmer's last championship meet.  The Sharks practice at the Randolph YMCA in Randolph and also at the County College of Morris pool. 

Our team also includes a well-designed dryland program which includes stretching, plyometrics, body weight exercises, lifting, running, and core body development which helps in our pool performances.   This program is designed by the Head Coach and the Physical Training department at the Y.  This program is run by certified YMCA professional physical trainers. 

Goals and Philosophy:

Our program aims to teach correct stroke technique at every level while striving to reach each swimmer's potential.  While maintaining a recognized competitive swim program, we also seek to develop confidence and self-esteem in all of our swimmers.  We use the process of setting goals and motivating our swimmers to achieve them.  We like our swimmers to feel good about themselves while developing positive leadership both in and out of the pool. 

Spring and Summer Program:

The RANY Sharks strongly encourage all swimmers to participate in our spring and summer program in order to maintain their conditioning and continue their progress toward long term goals.  This program runs late April through July and includes participation in Long Course meets.
