Buehler YMCA Swim Team Coaching Philosophy

The goal of the Buehler YMCA Swim Team's Coaching staff under the direction of the Head Coach & the YMCA is to provide competitive swimming environment which will give athletes an equal opportunity to develop as individuals and to prepare them for the challenges and rewards of life. Have some fun along the way as well.

By stressing the values of discipline, commitment, hard work and responsibility for oneself, we feel strongly that athletes who give an honest effort in all aspects of the program will be enhanced in SPRIT, MIND, & BODY.

The process of working towards a goal for a qualifying time for a certain swim is the key to developing the values that we are seeking. There are no guarantees that time may be met. What is important is that the athlete took responsibility to prepare to the best of his or her ability in a time seeking effort. Preparation is where the lessons of life are learned. Swimming fast or not swimming fast is not as important as experiencing the feelings of attaining or not attaining a goal. Our hope is that all swimmers, whether they reach their goals or not, still feel good about what they have learned, experienced and enjoyed along the way.
