Mission Statement
The Swim Fever Academy’s mission is to establish the Danvers YMCA Dolfins as one of the premier programs in New England by building a culture of excellence in one's character within our organization.
This process is anchored by assembling a staff that not only raises their own character development to higher levels but most importantly that of its team members.
A staff that leads our team to always raise their performance and expectations to a higher standard; to elevate their character beyond its normal limitations in every aspect of their lives.
A staff that creates an environment where our members gain the ability to be excellent in anything they wish to achieve.
This is put in motion by creating and providing an environment for the stimulation of the “Over-Achiever”:
A person for whom doing simply what is asked, or expected, is never enough.
Great organizations thrive with an emphasis on teamwork and togetherness. We will strive to develop a culture where our team members continually learn to emphasize and enjoy their commitment to all aspects of the team and their teammates.
Most importantly we will guide them to always have the Heart, Courage and Will to dream their dreams. For a true Champion not only builds a dream, but pursues it every day.We shall offer opportunities for swimmers of many different abilities to set and reach their long-term goals in our sport.
All in our program should treat each other as people first and then coach/swimmer second as there is more to life than just being good at a sport.
Participation in youth sports should be a life-learning experience and not just a hobby. By participating in a structured environment that emphasizes teamwork, integrity and discipline; we can develop better people hence better swimmers. Those better swimmers will be better in everything they do through life’s journey,
Swimmers and coaches should be intertwined in the plan of success for themselves and the team. Swimmers should be given the opportunity to choose a commitment to follow through and respect for their teammates and coaches as well. They should be learning the benefits of being of high integrity and character.
Swim Fever Academy/DYD will be entrenched as a technique-based program that offers a concise and simple approach to the proper techniques needed to be the best prepared to excel in our sport.
