Goals and Objectives
Overview: What follows are high-level goals and objectives that apply to all team members. The coaching staff in collaboration with swimmers and families can look forward to improvement in all aspects of the sport by keeping these goals and objectives in mind.
In turn the Board of Directors can use these goals and objectives to facilitate staff evaluations and utilize the results of goals and objective summaries to drive discussions about program improvement.
1. To increase the commitment to and enjoyment of the sport by providing interesting, fun and challenging workouts as measured by workout attendance percentages in the 90-100% range and meet attendance in the 50-60% range from the calendar period September 2007 to August 2008.
