Goal

Sharks (GOAL) is a member club of USA Swimming that
provides professional coaching for a wide range of swimmers in
the Omaha, Nebraska and
surrounding area. GOAL, established and incorporated in the
Fall of 2001, is a coach-owned and operated competitive swim team
that is a club member of the Midwestern Swimming Local Swimming Committee

Philosophy
·
We will provide a positive, enjoyable experience and environment
that leaves a swimmer
wanting to keep swimming as a lifelong activity, whether it
is for fitness, recreation, or
competition.
·
We will teach the fundamentals of efficient stroke, start and turn
techniques, as well as racing
strategy. The swimmers should know this so well that
they would be competent in teaching this
themselves.
·
We will teach the fundamentals of achievement, including goal
setting and the ability to focus
on what is under your control. A proper definition of
success brings it within reach of every hard
working individual.
·
We will create a supportive team structure that allows the
individuals to achieve as close to
their potential as possible.`
·
We will provide a USA Swimming Club that supports the goals of the
Nebraska High School
swimming program while keeping the main focus on the USA
Swimming local, regional and
national program
