We are a USA Swimming registered year round competitive swim team. The team is an extension of the St. Joseph Family YMCA. Our head coach is Bobby Botts. He has been coaching swimming for 15 years. He is the 2000 Missouri Valley Age Group Coach of the Year! He has coached on the Missouri Valley All-Star Team, the Zone team, and taken swimmers to Region 8 competition. He stresses the importance of stroke technique before speed.
