TBAY’S MISSION:
- PURPOSE:
Tampa Bay
Aquatics (TBAY) exists to help swimmers become
better athletes and better people through
discipline, dedication, and determination.
- HISTORY:
TBAY was created to bring swimmers throughout
the greater
Tampa
Bay area together to
compete. We
are a multi-level swim program for swimmers of all
ages and ability levels. The team includes swimmers
competing at national championships and swimmers
just entering the sport.
- COACHES:
Our coaching staff is committed to swimming
and to swimmers.
We have branches at pools that span most of
the Tampa
/ St. Pete /
Clearwater
area, so we can provide convenient practice
locations and excellent training, all on one team.
-
POSITIVE
ATMOSPHERE:
It is our belief that success is a by-product
of a positive environment and a positive self-image.
The program is geared to help each athlete realize
his/her potential by supporting their efforts in a
positive manner; both in and beyond the confines of
the pool. TBAY strives to instill an understanding
of, and appreciation for, such concepts as high
self-esteem, personal accountability,
self-discipline, goal setting and goal achievement.
-
THE
OLYMPIC SPIRIT:
We know that not every swimmer will be an
Olympian, but they can all learn, internalize and
live the Olympic Ideals of vision, focus,
persistence, commitment and discipline. These
principles, more than any gold medal or national
record, will help each child as they grow and enter
the realms of higher education and society in
general. We strongly feel that if you help nurture
the child, you will help develop (or even unleash)
the champion within as well.
- LIFELONG SPORT:
TBAY swimmers learn a lifelong sport;
participate in an outstanding, successful team;
appreciate the value of good health; and have fun!
TBAY’S
VISION:
As TBAY evolves, the team will
improve its performance in and out of the pool.
Athletes will achieve and exceed their goals.
They will become successful swimmers and successful
young men and women. The team will grow and win at
local, state, and national meets.
The coaches will learn from each other and be
recognized as among the best in their field for
excellent performance, passion for our city, and
dedication to the sport.
The TBAY community will grow and thrive, and
serve as an outstanding example of the benefits of
organized sports.
