Team Philosophy
Our goal as a team is to provide our swimmers with a supportive and enjoyable swimming environment. We would like our participants to view swimming as an activity they can enjoy and participate in for lifetime.
Our program is designed to foster both the physical and emotional development of each swimmer. At each level, practice consists of a combination of technique drills, endurance training and a fun activity such as relay races or diving practice. We encourage our swimmers to set specific goals that they can work towards. Swimming is unique in that while it provides the unity and camaraderie of a team it is also a very individual sport. Swimming goals are personal and progress is made by improving upon one's personal best.
We hope that through participation on the Flying Dolphins Swim Team swimmers will discover a love for the sport, a strong sense of self confidence and support from coaches as well as peers.

Athlete Progression
The Flying Dolphins Swim
Team employs a progressive age group program set up so that
each child develops mentally, emotionally and physically as
s/he moves up through the ranks. A well-defined team structure
and gradual increases in commitment is essential for swimmers
to realize their maximum potential. The emphasis in the early
stages of participation is on developing technical skills and
a love for the sport. In the later years, a more demanding
physical and psychological challenge is introduced to the
training program.
At each level, the goals and
objectives are specific and directed toward meeting the needs
of the swimmer. The long term goal of total excellence is
always in mind. Each child is different and will progress at
his/her own rate. The coaching staff recognizes this fact by
making team assignments based on a swimmer's physical, mental
and emotional level of development. |
