Coaches are recruited and assigned by current coaching staff and approved by the Board. All coaches complete a background check and are required to maintain youth protection credentials per EFSL guidelines.

COACHES MISSION: To promote the teaching, development, and practice of competitive swimming in the Southern EFSL area. We aim to achieve this by providing a friendly, and welcoming atmosphere that inspires swimmers to achieve their maximum potential through a strong work ethic, discipline, self-motivation, and self-esteem; and to work in a team-building atmosphere that produces long-term success. 

 

Be POLITE – to your teammates and coaches, listen when a coach is speaking. 
Be PROMPT – to practice and all activities, respect others by respecting their time. 
Be PREPARED – to practice with the right equipment, suit, clothes, and attitude. 
Be PURPOSEFUL – in all that you do. To do any of these you must be PRESENT!
