WARRENDER MISSION
  • The Warrender coaching staff and club officials are committed to helping every swimmer in the programme reach his or her maximum potential.  We believe this can be achieved for a wide range of ages and ability levels.  Naturally, for many team members, the development of potential will often be judged in terms of competitive results.  However, various other developmental considerations exist and the programme aims to touch swimmer's lives in a number of ways.  This includes dealing with success and failure, setting and achieving goals and how to explore and test one's limits.  It is recognised that each swimmer develops at different rates and the coaching staff are intent on allowing the individual nature of the sport to be fully realised.  This will be accomplished by offering an unrivalled and comprehensive training programme that adheres to the principles of long-term athlete development and provides each swimmer with the opportunities they need to progress within the sport.  In addition, in order to demonstrate the benefits of being a member, the club will endeavour to engage the swimmers and their parents in volunteer work, social activities and other events that are indirectly related to sporting performance.
