Goals of Our Club

Our club is dedicated to the pursuit of individual excellence in the sport of swimming. We have a professional staff of coaches eager to share this healthy lifestyle, teaching excellent swim techniques. However, if you look closer, you will see something else. Our coaches are genuinely interested in the swimmers well-being and the development of positive characteristics such as self-reliance, confidence, determination, goal setting and positive self-image. We are about developing fine, outstanding young adults. A person enters this sport and makes changes in their habits and lifestyle that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Why Swimming?

Swimming offers a great medium for developing healthy children. It offers challenge...first in the attainment of skills, then in the striving to develop speed. It encourages and allows swimmers to set their own goals and progress according to their own ability. They must acquire outstanding work habits. Swimming encourages people to make many positive lifestyle choices. They learn superb time management skills. Swimmers develop strength, endurance and excellent health habits. Even though swimming is an individual sport for the most part, you are also part of a team. Athletes are surrounded by others who have similar goals who encourage each other in their attainment. You will develop lifetime friendships!

• Swim School: The goal of this program is to teach youngsters between the ages of 4-6 how to swim well enough to join the Novice program. It is taught mostly by age 13 and older club swimmers.

• Novice Program:

• Age Group:

• Senior

• Masters: This allows parents, ex-swimmers, fitness buffs and triathletes over the age of 20 to train and enjoy the camaraderie of a team in their individual pursuit of excellence.

Our program is designed so that each swimmer practices and competes at his or her own ability level. Each swimmer is assessed on a regular basis and given every opportunity to progress through the many levels of the club. As a swimmer progresses and improves, they are given more opportunities and challenges according to their abilities.
