TEAM MCAT Mission and Vision:

The Montery County Aquatic Team/Salinas Valley Aquatics (SVA) is a year round competitive swim program that can meet the individual needs, hopes and aspirations of anyone who is interested in competitive swimming.

The Monterey County Aquatic Team / Salinas Valley Aquatic endeavors to produce champions in swimming and in life by providing a competitive, positive, safe, and fun environment where each individual can maximize their potential. We define competition as striving with others in a manner which is healthy and beneficial, and an important opportunity for the teaching of life skills such as goal setting, teamwork, sound nutritional habits, and the development of a work ethic.

We recognize that the producing of champions also requires continual mentoring, providing recognition and awards, and working with parents helping them to understand the process. We further recognize the importance of helping our members to pursue their academic and swimming careers beyond high school and we develop various means for making them aware of collegiate opportunities.

Producing champions from the community carries with it the opportunity and the responsibility for promoting lifetime fitness and wellness and actively seeking to provide for and include residents from all socio-economic sectors in one or more of our instructional programs.

To fulfill our mission we will continually enhance our professional coaching staff; promote, encourage, train, and recognize our volunteers; and develop new facilities. The administration of our program requires continually maintained lines of communication, accountability, community awareness through promotions, publicity, and political action, and fiduciary responsibility. Thank you for joining us. We are looking forward to meeting you. Please feel free to
ask another member or coach any question you may have.
