Swim San Diego is committed to providing an enjoyable and
complete swimming experience for all ages and abilities through
maintaining a positive and challenging teaching and training
environment in which swimmers develop individual discipline,
self-esteem and pride in individual and team achievements. In
addition to athletic achievements, Swim San Diego encourages a
fully rounded family, academic and social life.
The Swim San Diego program provides progressive development
through a series of age group and ability/commitment levels. At
each level we strive to encourage, recognize and positively
reinforce each swimmer's pursuit and attainment of defined goals.
At each successive level more complex stroke technique drills and
advanced theory are introduced, and more practice time and
endurance/dry-land work are required. The coaching staff encourages
and believes that engaging in competitive opportunities provides
every individual good lessons for life by teaching how to control
anxiety, stress, and to deal positively with both success and
failure.
In addition to swimmer involvement in the team, Swim San Diego
encourages and expects involvement of the family in the supporting
club. We expect our families to participate in ownership of the
team by volunteering their time, energy and talents in team and
club activities and to help build team spirit. We also encourage
our members, and expect our coaches, to take interest and become
involved in activities of our larger community, as well as in local
and national swimming organizations.
