The Dynamo program is characterized philosophically by the
principles of self-image psychology. This discipline is
concerned with guiding and directing individuals toward
maximum development of their talents and abilities. Similarly,
the Dynamo coaching staff endeavors to teach, train, and
motivate young people to achieve their ultimate potential in
swimming in the belief that this experience will prove
valuable to them as they grow and develop.
The Dynamo program strives to instill in young swimmers an
understanding of and appreciation for such concepts as high
self-esteem, personal accountability, self-discipline, goal
setting, and goal achievement as these ideas relate to their
success in training and in competition. It is our belief that
the process of achieving is as significant as realizing the
achievement itself.
At each level of the Dynamo program, swimmers are
instructed to strive for excellence. Excellence in this sense
represents the achievement of that level at which you know
that you have done your utmost to become the best you are
capable of becoming. This philosophy is consistent throughout
the program, and every Dynamo, novice to Olympian, is
encouraged to:
"BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE"
