Our Philosophy

The Dolphins Swim Team High Performance Training sees swimming as an important plan of the overall development of a young boy or girl. Besides the most obvious benefit of physical conditioning, swimming fosters the personal discipline required to persevere; the confidence-building of progress in competition; the social growth from travel; learning to accept winning and losing with equal grace; as well as developing a sense of values gained from competing as both an individual and a team member

The Dolphins Swim Team program strives to instill in young swimmers an understanding of, and appreciation for, such concepts as high self-esteem, personal accountability, constructive self-motivation, goal setting and goal achievement as these ideals relate to their success in training and in competition.

It is our belief that the process of achieving is as significant as realizing the achievement itself. At each level in The Dolphins Swim Team swimmers are instructed to strive for excellence.

Excellence in this sense represents the achievement of the level at which each swimmer knows that they have done their utmost to become the best they are capable of becoming. This philosophy is consistent throughout the program for every swimmer, novice through Olympian. We want every swimmer to swim to the best of their own ability and seek the opportunity to attain the level of excellence to which their desire and ability will move them. We believe swimmers and their parents alike should enjoy swimming and remember it as a positive life experience. We train champions at all ages throught the world.

In addition to the inevitable success of our swimmers, the Coaching staff will also help develop athletes into great National and International swimmers for the Dolphins Swim Club.
