POLICY
OUR
MISSION
The
Etobicoke Swim Club is a not for profit organisation comprised
of swimmers, their families, coaches and administration.
The Club's goals are
- To
support young people with the drive, determination, talent
and desire, to realise their maximum potential and aspirations
in the field of competitive swimming, through self-discipline,
commitment and time management
- To
build self confidence and self esteem in Club swimmers,
while promoting team spirit and good sportsmanship.
- To
achieve and maintain the status of a High Performance
Club by training swimmers to reach top ranking at the
Provincial, National and International levels of competitive
swimming.
- To
promote and develop coaches and meet officials which can
offer excellence in Canadian competitive swimming.
OUR
METHOD
In order to achieve its goals, the Club must necessarily incur
substantial costs for pool time, Swim Ontario fees, administration,
coaching, meet travel, and support for high performance swimmers.
To ensure the achievement of its goals, therefore, the Club
relies on the club members and their families to meet their
financial commitments on a prompt and timely basis and to
volunteer their time to ensure the swimmers can be offered
the maximum opportunity to achieve their goals in the sport
of swimming.
In order to ensure that the club stays on strong financial
and operational footing, the financial responsibilities and
volunteer workload are shared among all members
and their families. As a condition of membership in this Club,
each member family has a responsibility to achieve a minimum
volunteer commitment during the swim season, and to ensure
that their minimum financial commitments are met as and when
required by the Club.
GROUP MOVEMENT
When moving swimmers within the Etobicoke Swim Club, the coaching staff looks at many
factors.
One is the availability of space in the next group. In general, our
groups consist of approximately 20 swimmers
and one of our goals is to have each
group as training and age compatible as possible.
Some other characteristics and traits the coaching staff look at are:
- Appropriate effort in practice as prescribed by the coach
- Attendance
- Coachability
- Ability to train at the next level
- Respect for Coaches/Officials and other Swimmers
- Appropriate skill level to progress to the next level
- A growing commitment to the sport of swimming
- Swimmer should be in the age range for the next group
**The swimmer’s appraisal is based on the aggregate of these items and more.
**A Swimmer may move-up only one group at a time.
