At the YMCA, we strive to create programs for the Summerville community that focuses on youth development, healthy living and social repsonibilty. Our purpose is to be sure that everyone in the Summerville community has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
The 6th Annual YMCA Youth Triathlon gives children ages 7-14 the chance to compete in their very own triathlon designed just for kids! Atheletes will compete in a swim, bike and run through the beautiful neighborhood and trails of The Ponds community. All proceeds benefit the Summerville Family YMCA Annual Support Campaign.
