The program will also encourage its swimmers to have a healthy attitude about competition and to maintain a proper balance of fun and commitment.
While the coaches recognize that there are many different capabilities among our swimmers, their aim is to produce swimmers who excel and who understand the efforts required to achieve that excellence. Therefore, the staff will make every effort to provide the atmosphere necessary, in both its coaching and its teaching, to assist each swimmer in achieving his/her goals.
