Philosophy
We believe in the value of swimming as a lifelong fitness activity and a character-building activity for young people.
As our Masters team illustrates, one is never to old to swim, and a love of swimming developed early can lead to physical fitness for many decades to follow.
While both a competitive sport and a team sport, swimming is also an individual sport, and much of the competition is against oneself, seeking to achieve "personal best" times. This means participation is meaningful, and success measurable, not only for the most talented few, but for all who actively pursue improvement.
As a small club, UCSC provides a degree of personal attention swimmers may not get on larger teams. The coaches get to know and work with each swimmer individually. Swimmers are encouraged to grow and develop at their own speed within a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
UCSC has Skill Level Groups for everyone, aged 4 through adult.
UCSC has a strong, cohesive coaching staff bringing a multitude of experiences and skills to the team. Our coaches strive to guide each team member to become a better all around swimming athlete and to develop and realize individual goals, to build not only great swimmers, but also great people. Through swimming, young people learn self-discipline, respect, time management, and sportsmanship--qualities useful throughout life.
