Welcome to Our
Team!!
Berzerker Swimming
(BZRK) wishes to welcome you and your child to the wonderful and
rewarding sport of competitive swimming. By joining the Berzerkers,
your child is now a member of USA Swimming, one of the largest and
most unique youth sports organizations in the world.
In addition to the
obvious rewards of one of the most beneficial forms of exercise for
cardiovascular and overall fitness, your child will also develop
life skills such as time management, self-discipline, and
sportsmanship. These benefits will be reaped long after their
participation in the sport ends. Through a gradual commitment to
practice, each child is taught to work hard to achieve goals.
Through positive encouragement and an occasional stern push, a
child will learn to push themselves toward testing their own limits
each and every day. Hard work leads to achievement and success, and
success is fun!! When your child is done with the sport of
swimming, be they 9 or 90, we hope that he/she is a better person
for having been a Berzerker.
This page of the
site is designed to help parents to get acquainted with the
practice to practice, meet to meet operations of the Berzerkers and
USA Swimming. We hope it will explain some of our policies and a
few of the general swimming concepts you need to know so that this
experience can be as fun and rewarding as possible for athletes and
their families. Please do not be afraid to ask questions of your
coaches, board members, and other team parents. We are all here
with the same goals and we are all here to help each
other.
We are the
Berzerkers
Berzerker Swimming
(BZRK) is a part of Jasper County Aquatics, a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization, incorporated in January 2000. We offer a guided
age-group youth competitive swim program, developing athletes from
the novice beginner to the elite national levels. We work with
local summer and high school teams throughout the four-states area
to help athletes find their best competitive level and foster the
best athletic experience. Your journey with the Berzerkers will
begin with a focus on preparation, and will take a natural
progression toward competition only when your child is ready. We
realize that every child is different, and hopefully by providing a
caring, considerate, stable environment and enthusiastic, quality
coaching we can allow each athlete to develop as far as their
dreams, talents and efforts will take them.
Our
Mission
Our mission is to
bring all members together in one effort and purpose to achieve a
consistent environment and stable program so that each athlete can
reach his or her potential. We respect the systematic "process" of
becoming a great swimmer, and the natural progression from the
novice to elite levels of competitive swimming. We are part of a
uniquely individual sport, motivated by a team concept, and
dedicated to "the dream."
At Jasper County
Aquatics we focus on developing the "whole athlete." We share a
commitment to long term goals in USA Swimming competition. Building
and maintaining a consistent work ethic, self-discipline,
self-motivation, a healthy lifestyle, time management skills,
goal-setting, and responsibility for our own actions and
attitudes... these are the things that bring us success in our
wonderful sport, and these are the skills we hope all of our
athletes will carry over into their daily lives. We are the
Berzerkers. We believe that if we can all come together under the
same philosophy, with the same goals, we will always be
successful.
