Mission
Montpelier Marlins Summer Swim Team
Montpelier Marlins Swim Team is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers.
Our Mission:
The mission of the summer swim team is to promote lifetime physical fitness and wellness by introducing the skills and techniques of competitive swimming. We celebrate both individual and team achievements in an environment that develops responsibility, respect, fun, and caring while striving to serve the needs of the diverse local community.
Our Vision:
Every swimmer who joins the swim team brings a particular level of talent or natural ability. Coaches and swimmers on the Marlins work to help develop that potential in each child to the best of their ability. We measure success in the journey each swimmer takes to bring out his or her best, not in gold medals or first places.
In addition, we strive to develop life skills and confidence through the sport of swimming. Swimming is an individualized sport that teaches persistence, personal improvement and long-term goal setting. The Marlins promote a healthy, fun, and positive environment to reach those goals. We emphasize the values of teamwork, sports-personship and leadership, with respect for officials and volunteers. All swimmers are expected to encourage teammates and respect other competitors.
