Core Values

• Pursuit of Excellence: SAILFISH swim club values the individual pursuit of excellence. Each member of the club is encouraged to set and work towards achieving personal goals.
  As a community, we recognize and celebrate all accomplishments, not everyone will be a national, state or regional champion. Our objective is that all swimmers have the opportunity to participate in swim programs that provide for long-term growth both athletic and personal.
  We seek to encourage the development of other life-skills besides swimming such as goal setting, teamwork, sportsmanship and how to deal with adversity and disappointment. Pursuit of excellence is a team effort, everyone plays a role in creating a supportive environment that leads to individual excellence for each athlete. This includes swimmers, parents, coaches, officials, and SAILFISH swim club as an administrative organization.
  “Excelling in swimming is all about beating (improving) your Personal Best Time.”
• Sportsmanship: “Treating others the way you want to be treated.” Good sportsmanship is demonstrated when all members, fans, and parents show respect for themselves, teammates, opponents and coaches. True sportsmanship relies upon good communication.
• Team spirit: Showing commitment, support and teamwork, volunteerism and encouraging fellow teammates in the lanes and at swim meets. We understand that swimming is just like any other sport you lose or win but never look back on it with desperation because you always do your best.
• Hard work: Putting in extra effort to achieve the desired goals and reaching the greatest potential. "No one ever got stronger by working less"
