COACHING PHILOSOPHY

The goal of the Richfield Coaching Staff is to provide an environment in competitive swimming that will give athletes an equal opportunity to develop character and prepare them for the challenges and rewards of life. Throughout the program, we will promote:

  • Hard work

  • Commitment

  • Excellence

  • Sportsmanship

The process of setting and working to meet goals is key to developing the values and positive self-image that we are seeking for our athletes. Through participation in the Richfield Swim Club, we hope our athletes realize:

  • The importance of a healthy lifestyle.

  • The value of teamwork, team unity, and team pride.

  • Self-esteem through setting and achieving challenging goals.

  • A life-long love of swimming.

  • That swimming fast is fun!

The coaches firmly believe in the long-term development of all swimmers.  It is the goal of the staff at Richfield to provide swimmers the best opportunity to reach their highest level of achievement.
