We define grit as perseverance and passion for long-term goals. We want swimmers to reach their highest personal potential as both a person and an athlete, and develop a love for the sport.

Our team is committed and dedicated to providing an environment for our swimmers that allows them the freedom to fully develop their human and competitive swimming potential where excellence in swimming is valued and the pursuit of excellence is the standard.

Our coaches goal is to guide our athletes toward the maximum development of their ability. We encourage swimmers to become well rounded and courageous in the face of a challenge, in the hopes they become the leaders of tomorrow. We coach our swimmers to seek development in all competitive strokes and events offered by USA Swimming and view development of world class swimmers as a long-term operation, that is, small changes add up to major principles. Grit entails working strenuously toward challenges, maintaining effort and interest over years Don't let good be good enough!
