PR YMCA WAVES SWIM TEAM
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Waves swim team is to teach the skills of competitive swimming, build enthusiasm for the sport and foster team camaraderie among young athletes. We work to build an environment where both teamwork and individual effort are valued and where each Waves team member feels encouraged to participate and put forward their best effort. The philosophy of the Waves team is to treat each swimmer as an individual and build self-confidence and self-esteem through personal accomplishment each time they swim. Each swimmer has goals to improve times, learn new strokes, build techniques, and practice good sportsmanship. We are guided to reach our goals by the Y Core Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.
