Swim Team Philosophy
The Sleepy Hollow Recreation Association (SHRA) swim team is a family-oriented team with the primary goal of providing swimmers of all ages and abilities the opportunity to have a great summer swimming experience emphasizing fun and fundamentals. The involvement of parents in the activities of the team is expected – since we feel that parental involvement and support is essential to the success of the individual swimmer and the team as a whole. The coaching staff at SHRA believes that every successful swimmer has a love for the sport of swimming. The coaches nurture this philosophy by developing each swimmer at their own pace and constantly work to help swimmers enhance all four competitive strokes, improve racing technique, build self-confidence, become good team members, and learn that winning and succeeding are not always the same thing.
