Forest Ridge Association Swim Team Philosophy

We have clear policies and rules so that everyone will be treated evenly and fairly.
We distribute the swimming opportunities as evenly as possible among all participants.
We encourage the swimmers to concentrate on doing their best and to enjoy the competition – win or lose.
We encourage the swimmers to cheer for their teammates and to congratulate them on their performance.
We hire good coaches, give them clear instruction as to what we expect, and closely monitor their performance.

The success of the Swim Team is not just the result of effort by the swimmers. Behind every swimmer there needs to be an adult who supports the team in the areas of transportation, officiating, scoring, supervision and fund raising. Those who get involved find that it’s a lot of fun.
