CLUB MISSION/PURPOSE

From the beginning, you should know that your child's involvement in Walla Walla Swim Club will necessitate you assuming certain responsibilities and will require a substantial investment of both your time and money. But the amount of this investment, when compared to the benefits to your child, will, in the long run, seem small.

However, as a "Swimming Parent", you will not only have responsibilities, you will also have opportunities to really "get to know" your children in pressure situations, to praise and applaud their achievements, to learn from them, and in the end, to gain from them. In today's fast-paced society, there are few chances for parents to interact with their children on this kind of level. We feel these opportunities alone will make their swimming career worthwhile.
