SWIM PROGRAMS OVERVIEW
In order to meet our Vision and Mission Statement the Dynamo Swim Club offers three main programs. The Swim School is catered to children learning the basics of the strokes and establishing a good, strong foundation in swimming. There is no previous swimming requirement for Swim School. Children can then progress to the Performance Swimming program where each stroke is taught in detail. The goal in this program is to teach the children the values of hard work and commitment while also having fun and learning a valuable life skill. The Masters Swim Program is being developed so that parents can participate with their children (though that is not a requirement). Adult swimmers can also benefit greatly from strong, professional coaching, whether it is to simply improve (or learn) their basic swim strokes, or to improve times or endurance as part of training for a special event (masters swim meets, triathlons or other fitness goals).
With all three programs Dynamo Swim Club caters to the needs of the individual swimmer with the goal of them getting the most out of their time training with the club. The Dynamo Swim Club is characterized philosophically by the principles of self-image psychology. This discipline is concerned with guiding and directing individuals toward maximum development of their talents and abilities.
Similarly, the Dynamo coaching staff endeavors to teach, train, and motivate all swimmers to achieve their ultimate potential in swimming in the belief that this experience will prove valuable to them as they grow and develop.
The Dynamo Swim Club strives to instill in young swimmers an understanding of, and appreciation for, such concepts as high self-esteem, personal accountability, self-discipline, goal setting, and goal achievement as these ideas 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 of the Dynamo Swim Club swimmers are instructed to strive for excellence. Excellence in this sense represents the achievement of that level at which you know that you have done your utmost to become the best you are capable of becoming.
This philosophy is consistent throughout the program, and every Dynamo, novice to Olympian, is encouraged to BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE.
