highly trained coaches and instructors.
HSST Competitive Swimming
Program:
Havasu Stingrays Swim
Team (HSST) swimming is a year-round competitive swim program. We
offer an age-group youth program for children age 6 and up, from
the beginning swimmer to the most competitive and skilled swimmer.
When a person becomes a member of HSST he/she learns the values of
sportsmanship and team work. Swimming, with HSST provides
physical, social and psychological skills that will last a
lifetime.
Coaching
Philosphy:
At HSST, we believe in
"Athlete first, winning second."
We believe the most
important part of your child’s swimming experience is that
he/she learns about him/herself while enjoying the sport. Our
purpose is to provide a healthy, safe environment which encourages
learning and fun; hoping this will develop a positive self-image
within each child. We stress the importance of developing
individual self-discipline and good sportsmanship through group
activity. We believe that competitive swimming allows all children
to experience success, because everyone gets to compete and no one
sits on the sideline. It also allows children to deal with defeat
in a positive manner while becoming healthy and physically fit. Our
goal is to develop a year round aquatics program that will
challenge each individual. We want to instill responsibility, good
work ethics and the importance of goal achievement, while having
fun. We think that our team camaraderie and enthusiasm are second
to none. We realize not every swimmer becomes a world-record holder
or Olympic champion. However, it is our true belief that everybody
gains from their swimming experience. Meet our coaching staff here.
