Thunderbolts Swim Club Group Structure
The Thunderbolts program is founded on the belief that swimming offers an
exciting and worthwhile experience in a young person's life. The values of
competitive swimming go far beyond that of learning efficiency in the water. We
hope to instill in all our swimmers, regardless of age and ability, the desire to
strive for excellence, and the knowledge that they can achieve their maximum
potential in all things they do.
The competitive and pre-competitive programs are organized into a group
structure that reflects the physiological, psychological and sociological
development of the individual athletes in each group and are representative of
the strategies laid out in Swimming Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development
Strategy. The following group descriptions describe the purpose and mission
statement of each group within the Thunderbolts Swim Club for the 2009-2010
swimming season.
