Mission Statement

The San Luis Obispo Swim Club offers a quality aquatics program where members of all ages and abilities can reach their highest potential through healthy competition, personal challenge, and a dedication to fitness in an environment of team spirit and fun.  

The San Luis Obispo Swim Club aquatics program is founded upon the belief that competitive swimming offers an exciting and valuable experience in a person's life.  It can be learned and enjoyed by those with little or no ability, to those who are of Olympic caliber.  Yet, its values go far beyond that of just learning efficiency in the water.

In a program that is well planned and directed, every participant can gain from their experience.  It is for this reason that the San Luis Obispo Swim Club has adopted the following values and objectives.  

All members of this team - the athletes, families, and coaching staff - should aspire to promote and achieve these values and objectives.

1. To provide opportunities for social and emotional development;
2. To furnish a wholesome and worthwhile physical and recreational outlet;
3. To teach sportsmanship and promote team spirit and pride; 
4. To instill good health habits; 
5. To provide training and competition to all swimmers who desire it; 
6. To provide the opportunity to gain self-esteem and worth by making a commitment to the sport and pursuing personal goals;
