About the Carteret Currents Swim Team
The Carteret Currents is a competitive swimming program designed to help each individual swimmer reach their fullest potential; from the beginning level competitive swimmer to the nationally ranked athlete. Each member of the swim team is urged to set their goals and progress at his or her own pace.
The swim team provides a learning environment about swimming in a structured, disciplined and enjoyable way.
There is a great deal more to swimming than just learning the four strokes. The swimmers learn the values of proper nutrition, the necessity for setting goals, the value of positive thinking, and the importance of conditioning, the need for teamwork, and the benefits of self-discipline. The program builds self-esteem in all the swimmers. The competitive spirit and discipline of young swimmers carry over into other aspects of their lives. One typical result is that the average academic achievement of swimmers is well above that of all other students. The lessons that the children learn through swimming will prepare them for whatever the future may hold for them.
