A community collaboration between Hampden Township and West Shore YMCA
Part of our WSY programming is our “Summer League Ducks” program. Swimmers in our traditional 12 month program (AGB, AGC, Pre-Senior and Senior Practice groups) are automatically part of Ducks and do not have to do any additional requestion other than purchase a Hampden Township pool membership. Swimmers in these practice groups will practice in the mornings at the Hampden Township pool as well as an opportunity to practice several evenings at the YMCA in the evenings. Practice schedule is here
