The Cranston YMCA Blue Marlin Swim Team is a year-round swim program which offers a guided competitive program for swimmers age 6 to 21.  Swimming ability ranges from the beginning swimmer to the most competitive and skilled swimmer.

Team members learn the values of sportsmanship and teamwork.  Swimming, through the Blue Marlin Swim Team, provides physical, emotional and intellectual skills that will last a lifetime.

• Determination is an act of the will in which an end is firmly fixed and vigorously pursued.  It is the quality of being resolute while working hard to achieve a goal.
• Fortitude is the physical and inner strength to star the course notwithstanding disappointment and setbacks.
• Excellence is superior performance which is the fruit of hard work and preparation: it is more than merely trying one's best.  While excellence may seem impossible to achieve in the fullest sense, we encourage our athletes to strive after excellence.
