| YMCA of Saginaw Mission |
The YMCA of Saginaw is an association of
all people united in a common effort to put Judeo-Christian
principles into practice through programs that enrich
the spirit, mind, and body for all.

| Competitive Philosophy |
Competitive swimming, like all YMCA programs,
is a tool to help people develop in spirit, mind, and
body. Developing skills and achieving are secondary to
pursuing the YMCA mission. Competitive swimming offers
each child an opportunity to achieve, to develop confidence,
and to work through his or her individual capabilities
for recognition. Teaching the fundamental skills; encouraging
lifetime involvement in physical activity; and strengthening
the values of fitness, health, self-respect for others
are central themes in the YMCA sports philosophy.
