Ultimately, the goal of the Dublin Green Gator Swim Team is that each participant will develop a lifelong positive attitude toward swimming.  During the season, individual skill development, goal setting, recreational competition, and most importantly, FUN are all stressed.   Each participant will be encouraged to reach their full potential.  If an individual champion or a winning team is developed along the way, that's great.   However, this is NOT the main purpose of the program.  

Years from now, it is hoped that team members, and their families,  will look back fondly on the fun they had at practices and meets, the new friends they made, the excitement of the competitions, and the success and disappointments they shared with fellow teammates, coaches, and families.

The Dublin Green Gator Swim Team believes that a winner is not just one who finished first in a race.  It is more than that; it is a lifelong attitude.   Throughout the competitive experience, everyone can become a 'winner' by striving towards individual goals and ultimately achieving them.   Being the best is not as important as trying your best.
