Philosophy
SCCA believes that all our members are individuals and
have individual goals and aspirations for their success in
swimming. Our program is designed based on the idea that kids come
to us of all ages, abilities, and desires. We understand that
everyone involved with us will grow at different rates and reach
their own personal goals at different times. We allow for that
natural personal growth at the same time providing the appropriate
guidance to assist them in reaching those goals.
We have a "building
block" philosophy. We take the time to assess an individual
swimmer’s accomplishments and build on those prior
experiences in a logical progressive manner. We want every step to
be a permanent step forward. We are committed to striking a balance
between fun and work. We believe that your child will truly enjoy
what they are doing if they are learning and making consistent
improvements.
Communication
Please check your swimmer’s file daily and read
everything you receive, thoroughly. About 95% of the information we
pass on to our membership is in writing. Please read everything you
receive thoroughly. Although we do our best to keep everyone as
well-informed as possible, it is ultimately the member’s
responsibility to stay in touch with their coach and the
team’s activities.
Information and
updates are provided through these resources:
- Swimmer’s
Files-Every swimmer has a file setup with
his/her name on it. These files are located on deck in plastic file
boxes. Miscellaneous fliers, ribbons, and forms containing team
activities and schedules are placed in these files. Swimmers need
to make a habit of checking their file every day.
- Pacific Swim
Guide - New swimmers receive a complimentary swim guide
when they join the team. This guide is an excellent resource for
swimming information including a schedule of all swim meets held in
the Pacific swimming region, standard swim times (B, A, AA, Q,
etc.), and swim records. Swimmers may purchase a new swim guide for
$2.00 when they re-register for the next year.
- Parent
Handbook - Besides being full of important information,
you might not know that this handbook is the result of our one
mandatory fund raiser - the Parent Handbook Ad Campaign. Swimmers
simply solicit ads, either business or personal, for use in the
handbook. The total they collect goes towards the mandatory fee.
You might want to consider now which businesses you could approach
for this purpose.
- The Monthly
Calendar -The Calendar, distributed
monthly and posted on the web site, provides the schedule of
activities for the upcoming month.
