The philosophy of the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club and its coaching staff is simple. We are a competitive swim club and our mandate is:
-
To foster excellence in competitive swimming from a grassroots level to the international level through the training of our swimmers in all aspects of the sport.
-
To instill other traits useful in competitive swimming that will make the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club one of the best clubs in the country.
Our ideal situation would be, to have your swimmer enter the program at a grassroots level and remain in the club until graduation from high school and then go on to swim at a university level. We hope that our members will take the skills they learned as competitive swimmers and apply them in other aspects of their lives in their pursuit of personal excellence.
We find that the swimmers who pursue excellence when they are in the club, will learn discipline, commitment and a keen competitive instinct that helps them in school and all other aspects of their lives.
The other part of the club philosophy is that swimming is in an individual sport, but we find that there is a concept of team spirit in the club. All members must work together as a team as well as individually in order to attain the excellence that we are pursuing.
Finally, one could summarize the philosophy with the following idea: we are not only striving for excellence to build competitive swimmers, but we are striving to build well rounded, autonomous individuals who will strive for personal excellence after they finish swimming.
