Our Strategic Commitments
Aspire Aquatics seeks to combine the competitive nature and technical discipline of year-round swimming with the enjoyable team and community spirit enjoyed by other competitive swim environments (i.e summer clubs, high school programs, etc).
These elements combined, lift our young athletes to aspire towards physical, mental and personal excellence in their sport, and more broadly in life. Emphasis will be on providing technical instruction in a supportive, respectful, and community-minded environment. Mental health in youth competitive environments is often overlooked and underserved; Aspire seeks to purposefully cultivate and prioritize a culture of support, safety, team and family comraderie while our athletes grow in their competitive spirit and performance.
