Our Mission
The Folsom Tigersharks
offer training and competitive opportunities for swimmers of all
abilities to reach their individual and team goals. Tigersharks are
dedicated to providing an enjoyable environment for building
sportsmanship, character, skills (technique), friendships and
health. We are dependent on family participation, a well-qualified
coaching staff, and a dedicated Board of Directors in our pursuit
of excellence. Our swimmers will acquire life enhancing attributes
such as integrity, discipline, dedication and teamwork, through the
process of striving to be the best they can
be.
Team
Philosophy
The Folsom Tigersharks is
founded on the belief of age-group competitive swimming with a
recreation atmosphere and offers an exciting and worthwhile
experience in a young person’s life. It can be learned and
enjoyed by those with very little natural ability, as well as those
who are of Olympic caliber. Its values go far beyond that of
learning efficiency in the water.
It is a basic assumption
that for a competitive recreation program to succeed, it must
encompass and challenge all who participate and it must follow
continuous developmental progression. Swimmers learn balance and
the feel of movement through water, much the same as they sense
movement and balance out of water. This water sense can only come
through continued and constant exposure to water, with each
succeeding step bringing about an increased sophistication in
stroke technique.
