MISIÓN Y FILOSOFÍA
MISSION STATEMENT
The Alameda Gators Swim Team exist to develop the overall character, discipline in technical skills, and desire needed for each individual to maximize their potential. When a swimmer becomes a member of the Gators, they learn the value of sportsmanship and teamwork. Alameda Gators swimming provides physical, emotional and intellectual development that lasts a lifetime.
Fulfilling this mission requires a positive culture and a safe environment for all swimmers. Each parent, coach, official, and volunteer has a responsibility to protect our sport and our athletes from physical and emotional harm
FILOSOFÍA
Nuestra filosofía es desarrollar cada nadador a su mayor potencial. El cuerpo técnico se esfuerza por enseñar, entrenar y motivar a los nadadores para que logren su mejor marca personal. Creemos que su experiencia en la natación les ayudará a convertirse en adultos jóvenes en la sociedad actual. El desarrollo de hábitos saludables y una autoimagen positiva son un objetivo importante de nuestro equipo.
The Gator program works to instill in swimmers and understanding of and an appreciation for:
- Goal setting
- Goal achievement
- Personal, self-motivation
- Team spirit
- Cooperation
- Time management
- Mental toughness
Creemos que el trabajo y el esfuerzo puestos para lograr una meta es tan importante como alcanzar el logro mismo. Nuestro cuerpo técnico equilibrado apoya el desarrollo integral del niño. Esperamos estas prioridades de nuestros nadadores:
- Academic excellence
- Dedicated swimming
- A wholesome social life
Organization and discipline are needed to succeed in today’s society. If the priorities listed above are distorted, a young person will not reach his/her full potential. With an organized life, we believe that swimmers can excel in academics, explore their swimming potential, and enjoy a wholesome, healthy life. Through swimming, our children can learn to be healthy, productive adults. This end result is as important as training young swimmers to reach for the Olympic Trials or Nationals. Our policies and practices reflect these goals.
