Program Objectives
The Nadadores swimming program is designed and administered by
professional coaches interested in developing successful,
self-reliant individuals as well as outstanding swimmers. To
this end, the following team objectives have been
created:
-
To provide opportunities
for social and emotional development as well as cultural and
educational growth.
-
To motivate young people
to continually strive to achieve their maximum
potential.
-
To instill the values of
goal setting, hard work, self-discipline and
sportsmanship.
-
To promote the philosophy
of team unity, sacrifice, and dedication as the instrument for
achieving individual goals and objectives.
Philosophy of
Competition
The Nadadores emphasize
competition with oneself. Winning ribbons, medals, or
trophies is not the main goal. Swimmers are encouraged to
participate in meets so that coaches may view their progress and so
practice plans may be adjusted in order to maximize
performance. Meets are also helpful for setting goals and
objectives for each swimmer.
