Lakewood Piranhas

Philosophy and Objectives

The Lakewood Country Club Swim Team program is founded on the belief that Country Club swimming offers an exciting and valuable experience in a young person's life.  It can be learned and enjoyed by all and its values go far beyond that of just learning efficiency in the water. Every participant can gain from his or her experience, whether or not he or she ever wins a single race.  It is for this reason that the following objectives have been adopted: 

• To provide opportunities for social and emotional development.
• To furnish a wholesome and worthwhile physical and recreational outlet.
• To provide the opportunity to learn sportsmanship and make swimmers aware of team cooperation and pride.
• To provide opportunities to learn good health habits.
• To learn a sport they can enjoy the rest of their lives.
