Team
Philosophy
The Columbia YMCA Swim
Club's (YCSC Mudcats) philosophy is to teach the swimmers how to
set long and short-term goals while practicing Honesty, Respect,
Responsibility, and Caring. Through participation of the Bronze,
Silver, and Gold groups, the swimmer gains knowledge of the four
competitive strokes, learns the starts and turns for each stroke,
and gains experience by competing on a swim team. The Junior and
Senior groups work to achieve goals such as gaining mastery of
strokes, turns, starts, and to improve their times by learning how
to improve their fitness and health. We also like to have
fun!!!
