The West Seattle YMCA Dolphins Swim Team seeks to provide
a quality competitive swimming experience to the youth of the
Seattle area. We value swimmers of all skill levels and abilities
and work toward developing each swimmer’s potential. While
many of our advanced swimmers compete at regional and national
events, the majority of our swimmers are at the intermediate and
beginning levels.
The team is both YMCA and USS sanctioned and follows these
concepts: participation, fun, fitness, skill development, teamwork,
fair play, family involvement and
volunteerism.
Our focus is not on how many races our swimmers win, but
on how many individual goals each swimmer can meet or surpass.
Swimming is seen as more than a competitive arena. It as an
opportunity for personal growth, leadership development,
appreciation of diversity, and the development of wholesome
personal relationships that will help swimmers enter their future
lives better equipped to cope with the challenges of life in a
disciplined and constructive way.
Swimming is not expected to be the center of each and every
swimmer’s life. Our swimmers have different talents and
levels of commitment but all are expected to put forth their best
efforts within their abilities and to work with their teammates to
foster a positive team environment.
Each swimmer will get from the team and swimming whatever they put
into it. While the coaching staff may provide the workouts and
other guidance, it is ultimately the swimmer who makes the decision
to succeed.
