Fundraising Committee Opportunity

Zionsville Swim Club board is looking for volunteers in forming a Fundraising committee. Our parents and extended families do a great job of supporting our club every year. The next phase of our fundraising is to reach out to our extended community and businesses to grow our fundraising efforts. Volunteers will be joined up with our ZSC board in order to brainstorm an action plan. Your involvement in this committee would also satisfy your volunteer requirement. If you are interested in joining the ZSC Fundraising committee, please send an email to [email protected]."

Fostering a Culture of Excellence - January Focus - Initiative 
 
At ZSC we value strength of character and are committed to helping our athletes grow in more than just their athletic abilities. Each month, as a team, we will focus on a character trait.
 
This month is   INITIATIVE  taking action on what you see needs to be done without waiting to be told
  • Coaches will be talking about this with their squads, and you can help reinforce at home!
  • By consistently discussing initiative during practices and meets, we empower our swimmers to become self-starters who drive their own success and contribute to the team dynamically. It’s about inspiring them to act proactively—without direction—turning potential into performance.
  • Focusing on how athletes can apply initiative by encouraging athletes to be proactive, self-motivated, and forward-thinking. This fosters independence, leadership, and a drive for improvement. Coaches will also be underscoring opposing vices that can hinder progress and team dynamics.
