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.
