FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
At the Y, we are committed to reducing financial barriers for families so that everyone has access to opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. Thanks to the generous support of our Annual Campaign donors and the Old Town – Orono YMCA Foundation, we are proud to provide income-based Financial Assistance for Membership, Child Care, and Program fees to ensure everyone in our community can access our Y.
In addition to our Financial Assistance program, we are also proud to offer discounts for many of our hometown heroes and their families, including First Responders, Healthcare Workers, Teachers, Active Duty Service Members, and Veterans.
The Canoe City Swim Club is our year-round competitive swim team. Our program emphasizes teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal development while working with athletes to improve stroke mechanics, endurance, race strategy, and confidence in and out of the pool. From young swimmers curious about the sport to high school-aged athletes looking to compete in college and beyond, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where all children reach their full potential in the water and in our community.
Our team offers eight unique training groups, allowing our experienced and dedicated Coaching Staff to foster positive relationships among peers while creating developmentally appropriate practices tailored to the individual goals of our athletes at all levels, and provides opportunities to participate in YMCA and USA Swimming meets across Maine and New England throughout the year.

AGE GROUP PROGRAM
Our age group program consists of four training groups with an emphasis on growing confidence, building character, and fostering connections with our teammates, community, and the sport of swimming while improving stroke technique and building excellent foundational habits. Our goal is to place each athlete in a training group that will best fit their inclination and ability.

SENIOR PROGRAM
Our senior program consists of four groups with a continued emphasis on leadership and stroke technique and an increased focus on values and integrity, goal setting, race strategies, training and competitive performance, nutrition, confidence building, and physical conditioning. Our goal is specific training for our senior athletes geared towards challenging each individual and developing them to reach their full potential in the water and in our community.

All athletes must maintain an active Old Town – Orono YMCA membership in good standing to participate.
