Coaching Philosophy and Goals

The Robalos Swim Team has a proud and colorful history. We as coaches take our job very seriously in our effort to create a positive environment that enables each swimmer to develop their individual skills as a team member.

In this team sport format we promote sportsmanship, camaraderie and the skill-building self-esteem support needed for each swimmer to cultivate respect for themselves and their fellow teammates.

Team coaches are responsible for the development of our swimmers as well as the planning of competitive strategy. This includes the assignment of swimmers at particular practice sessions and the selection of events at swim meets for the individual swimmers.

All swimmers are eligible to be entered in 4 events at swim meets, but coaches will only do so if all swimmers in that age group have been entered in 3 events first.

To enhance the enjoyment of all team members, the Auburn Robalos adheres to a zero tolerance philosophy. Inappropriate behavior is unacceptable and will be dealt with according to a graduated process of discipline.
