“Developing competitive swimmers in
sportsmanship, leadership and excellence in all areas of
life."
We view our mission at Viper Aquatics to be of
the highest importance as we carry out our service to the Westfield
community. We strive in all of our activities to further
swimming as a healthy competitive and life-time sport for youth,
and to teach valuable life lessons and qualities through
swimming.
"Developing competitive swimmers in
sportsmanship,..."
There is much to learn from competition. Young athletes learn
drive, dedication, and perseverance through adversity among many
other things from competing. There is much to be said, too,
for learning how to compete in a cooperative and enthusiatic manner
that encourages the best from everyone. When we all succeed,
we do better as a team and as swimming community.
"leadership,..."
Viper Aquatics looks to develop great athletes and great people,
and as a byproduct, people with great confidence in who they are
and how they act. We strive to create future leaders--not
only of this team, but in whatever roles they take after
swimming. The confidence and leadership skills swimmers learn
from athletic training, competition, and team structure are things
that will help them throughout their lives. Leading by
example is also a key lesson we look to teach: who you are as
a swimmer and a person does matter, and how you act
affects the actions of others (in both positive and negative
ways!).
"and excellence in all
areas of life."
How fast you are does not correlate directly to how well
swimming will help you develop as a person, but how you
practice, how you compete, and how you treat others
will. At Viper Aquatics, we strive to develop great
students, great athletes, and great people.
