The Chelsea Piers Aquatics Club believes that swimming is a vehicle through which we promote excellence in the lives of young people. The pursuit of one’s goals teaches them valuable life skills applicable long after her or his athletic career is over. Our goal is to guide young athletes' attempts at self-improvement through world class instruction and by fostering a supportive environment that encourages imaginative thinking and fearless attempts at achievement. The values of a positive attitude, respect for oneself, coaches and teammates, and the desire to work hard will be the cornerstones of our program. Athletes and parents will be held to high standards through which we will find success in sport and life.
