Our mission is to provide the opportunities and
means for each athlete to progress to his or her full potential, to
instill a dream of excellence, and to promote sportsmanship,
responsibility, self-confidence and team unity. We believe that
every swimmer is an important part of the team, and that every
family’s participation and support is essential to our
success.
We at the Ripon Sea Lions hope that by joining
our team, your child will learn about the best that community
athletics has to offer.
Your child will learn the pride and self
satisfaction which comes from learning a new skill and improving at
it. Your child’s ultimate competitor is him or herself, and
swimming boosts self-esteem by showing results and improvements on
a weekly, sometimes daily, basis.
At the same time, swimming teaches the best
about team sports, and what being on a team is all about.
Every race can earn points for a team in a meet, and events like
relays bring out speed in swimmers that they themselves
didn’t even know they had.
Finally, swimming will give your child the best
work out possible, in a no-impact environment. Swimming
builds muscle, and tones the entire body. And because it
happens every day, results are quickly noticeable.
We want every child to achieve personal success
while building self confidence in a team sports arena, and are
working to make that goal a reality.
