Our Mission
YOSC is a not-for-profit,
multi-faceted swimming organization that aspires to teach, train, and
motivate swimmers at all skill levels. We
believe that all children should have access to swimming opportunities
that reflect their level of interest, and so we support three
interrelated swim programs: learn to swim; recreational and
developmental; and competitive. YOSC
strives for its swimmers to reach their full potential not only by
teaching the skills specific to swimming, but also through reinforcing
strong values that apply to all facets of life. Members
of our team learn respect, goal-setting, team-building, dedication, and
sportsmanship, as well as build self-confidence and character, in an
atmosphere of encouragement and instruction. Most
of all, our swimmers are proud of themselves and their team, and they
develop strong friendships and have fun. YOSC
operates under the sponsorship of the Ypsilanti Public Schools
Community Education Department. To the
extent possible, YOSC financially supports those families who would
otherwise be unable to participate.
