Our Core Beliefs
Effort and Commitment Trumps Ability
Regardless of individual talent, every swimmer needs to buy into the team concept and take the sport of swimming seriously. Believe us, you’ll have more fun working hard and sharing the same aquatic experience than slacking off. We’ve all been part of teams whose superior team chemistry superceded talent. In other words, good times on paper can’t compete with a supportive, unified team that shows up to compete. Bottom line: Be on time and give your best effort everyday in the water. As coaches, we know what it takes to swim fast and have fun.

Swimming is a Team Sport
People swim faster when they know others care about them. If you only focus on your own times and progress, you’ll be cheating your teammates and missing out on a richer experience. On this team, we’ll be cheering for each other as we improve on times and technique.

Swimming Builds Relationships
Throughout our swimming and coaching careers, we remember the relationships and shared experiences most. That’s why we’re here. Therefore, make a commitment.

Communication is Key
If we know where you are, how you’re feeling, and what’s going on in your life (especially during practices and meets), we’ll be in great shape. If not, we’ll have to have an abrupt conversation. The coaches can’t guarantee you’ll get to swim all of your best events in every meet, but we’ll try to match you up with events that serve your strengths, as well as the interests of the team.
