Information for New Swimmers

THANK YOU for your interest in BNSC. Our swim team provides a positive environment where all swimmers are encouraged to reach their maximum potential as athletes and individuals. Our structured training groups and coaching philosophy flow directly from our Mission Statement. Our mission values the use of sound teaching principles while focusing on the importance of athletes developing character, personal responsibility, and self-discipline in the pursuit of excellence in swimming and life. Our program is based on the coaching philosophy of teaching proper technique of all four competitive strokes and providing a progressively challenging workout that is appropriate for each swimmer’s level of physical and social development. Swimmers are divided by training group in order to provide a quality training environment. Each training group has specific goals and corresponding skills that are designed to provide a smooth transition to the next training group, and a progressive approach to training that is important to each individual’s long-term development.  We understand and support the fact that many age-group swimmers participate in other sports and school activities throughout the year. For that reason, it is important to group the swimmers according to their skills and levels of commitment to the sport.
