Missoula YMCA Swim Team Vision Statement
The Missoula YMCA Swim Team is designed for swimmers elementary to high school age with diverse experience and abilities. MYST's team philosophy is rooted in the YMCA's four Core Values: Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. Practices, meets and other team events help to providing a safe, healthy, and positive environment for athletes in our program.We take pride in developing physically, mentally and emotionally, strong athletes through the sport of swimming. While only one swimmer can come in first in any race, all swimmers can be winners when they give their personal best. We believe this philosophy lends itself to building strong kids with solid character.
