Team Philosophy “ASL sees swimming as an important part of
the overall development of a young boy or girl. . . At each
level of the ASL program, swimmers are instructed to strive
for excellence. Excellence in this sense represents
achievement at a level at which you know that you have done
your utmost to become the best you are capable of becoming. We
want every swimmer to swim to the best of his or her own
ability, and to strive to attain the level of excellence to
which their desire and ability will move them.”
