When mission and vision statements became a 'thing' for U.S. swimming clubs in the early 2000s the club I was coaching had a go at creating its own. The process was both meticulous and often frustrating as staffers, administrators, and directors met, discussed, argued, and philosophized about what the club was all about. What did we want to achieve and how would we go about doing it? These questions are not as simple as they seem when some principals wanted to focus on high performance, others wanted their children to learn how to swim, and still others wanted a fun, youth sport recreational experience. Was there a way to address these desires in a simple statement?
