THE DYNAMO SWIM CLUB PHILOSOPHY

The Dynamo program 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 young people 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 program 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 program, 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:
