Mission Statement:
The coaching staff's goal
is to help create a positive swim experience for all children on
the Manteca Dolphins Swim Team. We strongly emphasize the
development of correct stoke techniques. This emphasis on
fundamentals results in improved stokes and times for novice
swimmers and the establishment of a necessary base for advance
skills as the swimmers progress. At all levels the swim workouts
emphasize the teaching of stroke mechanics as well as conditioning
and fun.
Our emphasis in competition focuses on involving all swimmers in a
positive competitive experience. Our aim is the full participation
of all children on the team.
The sense of self-esteem, discipline and personal responsibility
that children gain from their experience on the team helps them
mature and develop as individuals as well as swimmers. We aim to
facilitate this growth and believe that both personal growth and
improved swimming are natural, positive outcomes from our swim
program.
