MISSION, VISION, & VALUES

Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a healthy, rewarding experience for young athletes, in a safe, supportive environment, where pursuit of goals and dreams leads to success in swimming and in life. We strive to benefit our community by developing leaders who are hardworking, responsible citizens. Our swimmers are respected models embodying integrity, teamwork and friendship gained through commitment to excellence.

Vision

Become the best version of ourselves in the water even when we are out of the water.  Our approach on life is not just swimming but a bigger purpose of driven individuals that can look back at the sport that they loved and know that they gained the world and understand how to push their limits to achieve their dreams and help those around them get theirs! Whether a fitness-focused athlete or a competitive swimmer seeking intense workouts and competition, we are committed to providing a comprehensive range of options. Our goal is to deliver the same high-quality experiences and opportunities found in larger teams, all within the close-knit environment of our smaller club.

Core Values

Core values are the essential qualities and attitudes that define a truly great athlete. Beyond skill and performance, they encompass teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship, and a positive mindset. Each month, we spotlight one of these core values to inspire and guide our athletes in their development both in and out of the pool.

For The Team:We always look for the opportunity to build someone else up in their efforts.  We promote a “for team” environment to lift big efforts up to help the community we live in become a more welcoming and high achieving atmosphere. We celebrate others achievements!

 

Brave:We demonstrate courage and resilience in the face of physical, mental, or emotional challenges.  Bravery is not just about physical prowess but about mental strength, ethical behavior, and the ability to inspire and uplift others. Our obstacles become our opportunities! We do not back down to a challenge but embrace it and encourage others to overcome the obstacles in front of all of us!

 

Adaptable:We are open to new experiences and rarely let setbacks get in the way of forward momentum or fun.  We do not shy away from the fact that we are not perfect, and that change must continue to happen mentally first and physically second to become a stronger and better version of ourselves.  We will adapt and grow with the days and times! 

 

Intense:We have a look about us that we are not afraid, we are going to own what is about to happen before us. We are not victims of our circumstances, we are owners of outcomes that we choose to pursue with a passionate focus. We have an emotional intensity that our standards are part of who we are. We hold ourselves and others to the standards of our program so that we might all rise to a new level together.

 

Discipline:We do hard things! We have an unwavering work ethic. We dream of our goals and work to maintain our standards. We are disciplined in life, and we look forward to the hard stuff, the stuff that no one else is willing to do that will force us to grow mentally and physically. 

 

Unity:We Wear Orange and Black - We believe in team; we believe in looking unified in one effort as a community of different backgrounds that unite under one common athletic activity. We wear our uniform with pride and excitement. We wear orange and black.

 

Grateful:Grateful athletes look around and appreciate the challenge that is being given to them.  Grateful athlete’s joy is independent of winning.  We say thank you, we give high fives to others. We let others know we appreciate them. We show it through verbal communication, cards, handshakes, and body posture. We show gratitude to parents and teachers that help us build ourselves and those around us every day.

 

Positive:We are positive, joyful and enthusiastic about our everyday life. We wake up with a curiosity of what may happen, what we will make happen! We are excited about the adventure of life and bravely move forward into each day with a smile and a purpose. 

 

Selfless:We are welcoming to anyone that puts on our cap. Anyone who is willing to take on our sport we embrace as brothers and sisters in arms toward our dreams of a community of high achievement and growth. We celebrate others accomplishments as our own!

 

Accountable:Actions have outcomes and we own our own actions no matter positive or negative. We don’t blame others for outcomes, we find a way to own our own process.

 

Relentless:We hold our standards high, even when we are tired! We are on a mission and have a vision of what we want to do, and we never give up in accomplishing a task.  We are purposeful in our growth in mind and physical abilities.  We are relentless in our pursuit of our dreams. 

 

Curious:We are always looking for a new and different way to grow as a person and athlete. We are curious about our limits and love the act of playing with our strokes, efforts, and details of the sport to find the ultimate best way. We explore new mindsets, nutrition, physical activities, and mental exercises to grow us!
