Livonia Blue Racers Swim Team

The Livonia Blue Racers is our competitive swimming team for all age groups. Instruction, technique, yardage, a positive work ethic, team building and tons of fun is what you will experience on the Livonia Blue Racers Swim Team.

The YMCA involvement in sports has been one means by which the organization has inculcated ideals, values and behavior based on its purposes and goals. Sport in the YMCA has never been an end in itself, but rather a vehicle for achieving much more global purposes.

Concern for sports involvement is at the broad participation level, rather than focusing on the elite athlete. Teaching the fundamental skills, encouraging lifetime involvement in physical activity, strengthening the values of fitness, health, self respect, and respect for others, are the central themes in the YMCA sports philosophy.

The essential elements of the YMCA competitive aquatic philosophy are:

• To support and instruct every swimmer on the team
• To work on basic skills and teach good physical habits
• To teach fair play and mutual respect
• To help swimmers set and evaluate individual and team goals
• To foster a winning attitude, in both victory and defeat
• To encourage lifetime involvement in sports and physical activity
• To work the whole person---body, mind, and spirit

  The Livonia Blue Racers are currently in off-season. If you are interested in swimming competitively, Blue Racers Competitive Prep Team and Blue Racers Conditioning will be held beginning April 26th, 2009.

  For more information on the Livonia Blue Racers, please visit www.LivoniaBlueRacers.com or contact Michelle Robinson, Aquatics Director at MRobinson@ymcametrodetroit.org or 734-261-2161 ext. 213.

Livonia YMCA Twisters Gymnastics

The Livonia YMCA Twisters promotes the development of overall coordination, strength and fitness in a framework that also teaches the value of social interaction, team work and self-discipline. Livonia YMCA Twisters endorse an approach to gymnastics which stresses positive physical, psychological, moral and spiritual growth.

For more information on the Livonia YMCA Twisters, visit the Twisters website or contact Lisa Fierk at (734) 261-2161 ext. 207.
