WHAT IS USRPT?

SwimSwam Article- COACH CHANEY AND THE COLORADO TORPEDOES EXCELL WITH USRPT

Our Mission is to offer a Year-round technique based/low yardage race pace swim team program to children 4-18 years of age in the southern Colorado area. This program provides a worthwhile experience for your swimmer(s) by teaching them the meaning of integrity and ethical conduct, the basic principles of competition, fair play, sportsmanship, and the opportunity for all children to learn the sport of swimming in a safe environment. Our program hopes to teach that winning and succeeding are not necessarily the same thing. That hard work and dedication can help you achieve your goals in life, in or out of the water.  
Roy Chaney-Founding Member and past Head Coach

All our efforts are guided by these values:

*SAFE ENVIRONMENT - We are committed to providing a safe and positive environment for all members. 

*INTEGRITY-Athletics involve character development and therefore we will conduct ourselves with the utmost integrity. We are at all times honest and forthright in our dealings with each other, the media and public.

*PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT-Our purpose is to teach proper stroke technique and teach the art of swimming. We will promote the personal growth and physical well being of our swimmers. We will guide them to become the best they can be.

*TEAMWORK-We will compete to support our team and for our own personal growth. We understand that the success of one swimmer is the result of many dedicated individuals. We will provide support and encouragement to all on our team from newest swimmer as well as the veteran athlete. We will always recognize everyone's individual performance, and we will also celebrate the achievements of the team.

*EXCELLENCE-Dedication to excellence will be the cornerstone of our team. Individually and collectively, we strive always to give our all.

*LEADERSHIP-Our goal is to maintain a model-swimming program that other teams may wish to emulate. We will provide the best drills and training available with consistency. We will continue to learn new techniques and keep abreast of the latest racing strategies and skills. All our training will be added to the foundation of a "technique based" program always balancing technical development with physical development.

The team has approximately 90 swimmers and trains at the Manitou Pool and Olympic Training Center.

We will be happy to test your child's swimming skills and recommend the appropriate program. After testing, your child can try three days free so you can experience the team training and instruction.
