Our club is a USA Swimming year round
competitive swim team offering high quality professional coaching
and technique instruction. The goal of our team is to provide every
member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve
success at his or her level of ability, from novice to
international competitor.
All of our coaches, as members of the American Swim Coaches
Association, have access to the most comprehensive training and
certification program for youth coaches of any sport in the United
States. They provide assurances that the time children spend in
swimming will be quality time.
Crimson Tide Aquatics, a non profit 501(c)3 club, is run by
its elected Board of Directors which meets each month.
We are constantly growing and training young swimmers to maintain a
well rounded competitive swim team. Thank you for your interest in
our team. We are looking forward to meeting you. Please feel
free to ask another member or
coach any questions you

Mission Statement
Crimson Tide Aquatics is committed to continuing its tradition of
competitive swimming excellence. Through dedication and hard
work, each team member is afforded the opportunity to achieve
his/her fullest potential as an individual and athlete. By
providing a professional coaching staff, combined with parental
commitment, we seek to provide a healthy and motivating environment
of enhanced self-esteem and pride in accomplishment. We
expect swimming to be rewarding and fun for all our
participants.
Statement of
Philosophy
The CTA coaching staff is committed to helping all swimmers in the
program reach their maximum potential. We feel we can do this
for swimmers of all ability levels and age ranges. Naturally,
at any given time for many team members, the development of
potential will be observed as time improvement in swimming
events. However, we don’t feel that our guidance is
limited to this aspect of development. We want our program to
touch their lives in a number of meaningful ways.
We view our job as leading the
swimmers on a journey of self-discovery, through the medium of
competitive swimming. There will be ample opportunity for
learning how to deal with success and failure, how to set and
achieve goals, and how to explore and test one’s limits.
For the younger age groups, our emphasis is placed on teaching
proper technique and enjoyment of the sport. As the swimmers
progress to our highest levels, we expect them to be able to commit
to the pursuit of excellence and to exhibit good citizenship,
leadership, and sportsmanship. As we accomplish these goals,
we are certain that Crimson Tide Aquatics will become more
prominent in competitive swimming in our area, and add to the
development of each swimmer’s character.
