Malden YMCA

Due to the weather and extremely icy conditions predicted for tonight, there will be no swim practice for the Malden YMCA Crocs.

Stay safe and warm!

The Malden YMCA Crocs took 27 qualifying swimmers to the

YMCA Northeastern Winter Championships this past weekend,

and swam away with some incredibly fast times!

Congratulations to all of our Championship swimmers!

Deanna Guo was our high point scorer, taking 123 points for the team!

The Girls 200 Free Relay Team (Chloe A., Beatrice C., Tracy L. and Deanna G.) took 1st place.

The Girls 200 Medley Relay Team (Deanna G., Chloe A., Tracy L. and Beatrice C.) took 1st place.

The Girls Medley Relay Team (Sydney C., Britney N., Leyna N. and Lana A.) took 2nd place.

A HUGE THANK YOU to all of our parents, swimmers and staff who obtained pledges, donated, volunteered or swam last night! Your support is what makes being a part of this team possible for so many athletes and families!

 A reminder, the proceeds from this event go to the YMCA Annual Fund, which supports swim team families by providing scholarship opportunities to Malden YMCA families.

 

The RALLY UP ONLINE PLATFORM will be open through next week, and swimmers also have until Friday, December 13th to return their pledges and pledge sheets.

The Crocs had their game faces (and their smiles) on at this year's Pumpkin Meet!

The Pumpkin Meet, hosted by the newly formed Tritons Swim Team, is a competition designed for YMCA swimmers under the age of 11.

We were 26 swimmers strong, including many who participated in their first swim meet ever - way to go, Malden!

Congratulations to Alden Deronja (8), who won all of his races on Saturday! 

...and an extra special shoutout to our meet helpers: Susie, Breana, Britney and Angie, four middle school aged swimmers who kindly volunteered their time at the meet - we could not have gotten all those 10+Unders behind the blocks on time without you!

These 9 and 10-year old Crocs all swam the 200 freestyle or the 500 freestyle for the first time ever at the Freestyle Fling on October 5, 2019. They also learned how to count the 500 for their teammmates. We are so proud of these kids!
