HELLO &
WELCOME!
Congratulations for choosing Team Santa
Monica, a swim club serving Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Culver
City, Venice, Marina del Rey, Beverly Hills, Brentwood and the
Westside of Los Angeles.
We hope your participation will be a satisfying and rewarding
experience not only for the swimmer, but also for the entire
family. As a swimmer with Team Santa Monica, you will meet new
friends and participate in exciting swim competitions throughout
Southern California. You will also have the opportunity to realize
the value of focus, concentration and hard work in the
accomplishment of your goals.
TSM is non-profit, parent-run
organization. As such, its viability is critically dependent on the
support and involvement of the members. Parents are expected to be
involved in all aspects of its operation, from yearly fundraising
events to sponsorship of swim meets to daily functions. Team Santa
Monica?s success is predicated on the commitment and involvement of
the swimmer and his/her family.
TSM uses a progressive age group
program designed to develop the child physically, mentally and
emotionally in a systematic fashion. A well-defined, long-term
approach of gradually increasing degrees of commitment is essential
to reach peak performance levels during a swimmer’
s physiological prime. The
emphasis in the early stages for participation must be placed on
developing technical skills and a love for the sport. In the later
years, a more demanding physical and psychological challenge is
introduced to the training program.
At each level, the goals and
objectives are specific and directed toward meeting the needs of
the swimmer. The long term goal of total excellence is always in
mind. As each child is different, he/she will progress at his/her
own rate. The coaching staff recognizes this fact by making team
assignments based on a swimmer’s physical, mental, and
emotional level of development.
