Charlotte Swim & Racquet Club Dive Team

The purpose of the CSRC Swim Team is to introduce our children to the world of swimming, promote individual and team achievement, teach and encourage good sportsmanship, foster a family bonding experience, and provide a physically and emotionally safe environment for participants and their families. The benefits of swimming are well documented and include obvious ones, such as improved cardiovascular strength, flexibility, endurance, motor skills, balance and posture. But benefits also include social development, such as camaraderie, teamwork, building relationships with piers, taking instruction from our coaches, respecting teammates and competitors, communication, and leadership. Swimming also helps build personal resilience, discipline, and work ethic. And children don’t have to swim year round to achieve these benefits – we have many swim team members whose primary sport is not swimming. Every year we hear stories from parents of how swim team has improved the performance and conditioning of their children when their primary sport seasons start back up.
