YMCA of Saginaw
Mission
The YMCA of Saginaw is an association of all people united in a
common effort to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice
through programs that enrich the spirit, mind, and body for
all.
Competitive
Philosophy
Competitive swimming, like all YMCA programs, is
a tool to help people develop in spirit, mind, and body. Developing
skills and achieving are secondary to pursuing the YMCA mission.
Competitive swimming offers each child an opportunity to achieve,
to develop confidence, and to work through his or her individual
capabilities for recognition. Teaching the fundamental skills;
encouraging lifetime involvement in physical activity; and
strengthening the values of fitness, health, self-respect for
others are central themes in the YMCA sports
philosophy.
