Swimming

Members get together M-W-F around 8:00 AM for a very friendly swim practice.  They usually bring their workouts to share.  We generally have three swimmers per lane (using 3 lanes or 2 depending on the number of participants) but as long as you are open to their workouts, they are open to round swimming.  This would be best described as Masters Swimming without the team logo, but definitely with the push to keep you active in your swimming.
 
We also have coached practices that have been added to our programs.  These coached swims are at 5:30 AM and the workouts are provided.

Get Connected

We have a variety of small group offerings that allow you to really get connected with others at our YMCA. If you want to get involved with a small group, or if you would like to start a new small group, please contact Melody Pirkle, Small Groups Coordinator.

Early Morning Basketball

This group is open to YMCA members only.  The early morning basketball crew is very friendly and well organized.  This group meets at the GHS Y location. Teams are chosen based on the number of players that attend. Although this crew has been around for a long time, they welcome newcomers, and really have a lot of fun.  Games run from 5:45 am until 7:00 am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Running Groups

We have a variety of running groups leaving from our Y throughout the week. One group leaves from different locations in the Simpsonville area on Saturday mornings and various days and times during the week. If you are interested in getting connected to this group, contact Len Solesbee. The Walk to Run Group meets at the GHS Y on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:00am on the indoor track. For more information, please contact Lori Dredge or Melody Pirkle at 963-3605.
