Coaching Philosophy:
At GREAT, our coaches are dedicated to creating a rewarding experience that helps every swimmer pursue their goals and find success both in and out of the water.
In a positive and supportive environment, we guide swimmers to set realistic and challenging goals, and provide the necessary training to help swimmers reach their goals. Not every swimmer will become an Olympian or win every race, but every swimmer can pursue excellence at their own level and celebrate meaningful accomplishments along the way.
Our coaches guide athletes through the highs, lows, and plateaus of competitive swimming, teaching not only technique but also discipline, perseverance, and leadership. These lessons extend far beyond the pool, shaping swimmers into strong individuals and future leaders.
Coaching Objectives:
We believe there is no better sport than swimming for teaching valuable life lessons and helping young people build skills they will need to make meaningful contributions to their professions and communities later in life.
At GREAT, our coaches strive to meet each swimmer where they are, providing the tools and support needed to help them succeed. Through swimming, we work to:
- Instill Self-Esteem – Help swimmers build a sense of pride and respect in themselves and what they accomplish.
- Provide Motivation – Encourage swimmers to stay dedicated and keep pushing forward.
- Improve Technique and Skills – Teach strong swimming techniques through focus and practice.
- Work Ethic – Build strength, speed, and endurance through consistent effort and building a strong work ethic.
- Develop Role Models – Set a good example for the rest of the team and our community.
