- Coach Jay's Three Core-Coaching Objectives:
Maximizing Potential:
Through a well organized and defined program, swimmers in both the
learn-to-swim and competitive programs will have the opportunity to
progress at their own pace to the highest level of proficiency they
choose to pursue. Coaches and instructors will consistently challenge
each swimmer to take the next step on the road to excellence,
coordinating a positive and rewarding atmosphere in which to do so.
Providing lnformational Education:
Staff will present information to swimmers and parents so all may come
to know the benefits of the competitive swimming experience. During the
competitive years, the better the athlete and parents understand the
dynamics of developing a competitive swimmer, the better prepared they
will be to work together with the coaches to achieve the highest degree
of success possible within the sport. This will enable the swimmer to
continue the sport long after their competitive years have concluded.
Achieving Competitive Success:
We offer our staff ongoing opportunities to enhance their knowledge
and to better enable them in providing swimmers at all levels
sufficient training, supervision, and motivation to excel. It is our
goal for all to achieve success.
