Philosophy

of the coaches

We believe we should use sport to achieve body mastery, conditioning, good health habits, and life-long skills. Through competition we should be able to teach character, sportsmanship, courage, positive self-image, winning habits, and intimate self-knowledge for the individual. This is not just "swimming class".  We coach for the express purpose of teaching individuals to be quality, goal-oriented people whom we hope will learn that winning is inclusive, not exclusive; that competition is not against people, it is with people who are working toward a common goal; and that excellence should be a way of life. Having an atmosphere where adults and children of all ages can practice together should only enhance this philosophy. Additionally, we will work to have all swimmers swim all strokes and distances. We do not condone the myth that any certain event distance or stroke is any harder than others. Swimmers become better the more strokes and distances they can do.

I am enjoying the class I feel better and my back doesn't bother me hardly at all anymore.
