Madison West
YMCA Swim Team Mission
Statement
The Madison West YMCA
Swim Team provides swimmers of all ages and abilities the
opportunity to excel in the sport of swimming. Our program meets
the needs of the novice competitive swimmer to State Champions and
National Qualifiers. Our Coaching
Staff provides swimmers with the opporunity to excel through a
structured, encouraging and supportive environment. We
believe that success is the result of a solid foundation in the
fundamentals of proper stroke technique and balanced
workouts.
Swimmers
are expected to come to practice ready and willing to strive
towards improvement through listening, following directions,
working together as a team, and demonstrating respect for their
coaches and their teammates. Our coaches know personally that
dedication and commitment are important characteristics
of a successful competitive swimmer and try to instill
these values into our swimmers. The MWY coaching staff also
incorporates the four YMCA core values - Caring, Honesty,
Respect and Responsibility- into practices and competitions to
help aid in our swimmers personal development as well. Our goal is also to help
swimmers develop a life-long appreciation for the sport
of competitive swimming and learn lessons from their involvement
that can be implemented into all facets of their
lives.
