At Cascade, our greatest concern is the
development of human potential, both physical and mental.
Cascade attempts to train and encourage youngsters to achieve their
optimum potential in swimming in the belief that this will prove to
be valuable to them as they grow and face the challenges of
life.
Cascade strives to instill in its swimmers
an understanding of and appreciation for such concepts as high
self-esteem, personal accountability, constructive self-motivation,
goal setting and goal achievement as these ideas relate to the
swimmer’s success in training and competition. It is our
belief that this process of achieving is as significant as the
achievement itself. This philosophy permeates our program at all
levels. All swimmers are encouraged to be the best they can be and
to strive always to be the best.
Cascade Swim Club is dedicated to equal
opportunity for all swimmers. It will not discriminate against any
person, either member, family or guest of its program or
activities, on the basis of creed, religion, race, color, sex,
marital status, sexual orientation, political orientation,
ancestry, age, national origin or the presence of a physical,
sensory, or mental handicap unless there is a bona fide inability
to perform or participate in an activity.
