You've arrived at the home of the Camillus Swim Club and I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce us. Three years ago we felt it was time to re invent the club; to return it to it's primary purpose as a local youth organization. Yes we DO swim but it's not about the swimming; it's about the kids. Everyday children walk through our doors, hop in the pool and swim a few laps. But our hope is that we will give them an experience that goes far beyond the water.
We aim to accomplish this by emphasizing two basic points.
First, we are 100% focused on improvement. Ribbons, medals and championships are all well and good but there is no greater accomplishment than a best time. Simply put, if this is the greatest swim of your child's life we will celebrate it regardless of the place.
Second we seek balance in our members lives. We love swimming, turns, starts and racing but life is what goes on between our practices. Therefore we strongly encourage ours kids to have other interests and pursuits.
Ultimately we want children to feel that the pool is a place where they can grow and mature and find a reason to believe in their own abilities and success. If this all sounds like a "second home" for you and your child then please browse our site and consider stopping by the WG pool. Hopefully you'll find children working, succeeding and more than occasionally laughing as they do so.
