RCR TEAM PHILOSOPHY

The Rapid City Racers Swim team is founded on the belief that age-group competitive swimming offers an exciting and worthwhile experience in a young person’s life. It can be learned and enjoyed by those with very little natural ability, as well as those who are of Olympic caliber. Its values go far beyond that of learning efficiency in the water.

It is a basic assumption that for an age-group competitive program to succeed, it must encompass and challenge all who participate and it must follow continuous developmental progression. Swimmers learn balance and the feel of movement through water, much the same as they sense movement and balance out of water. This water sense can only come through continued and constant exposure to water, with each succeeding step bringing about an increased sophistication in stroke technique.

It should be understood that not every child will be a world-class swimmer. Regardless of how deeply motivated or how hard they are driven, most will never participate at a national or international level. However, our program will help all participants reach personal goals, build character, and improve self-esteem.
