Vision Statement:

In addition to the YMCA core values of caring, respect, honesty, responsibility, and inclusiveness, FCFY Riptide swim team strives to be the best competitive aquatics program in the area. Our commitment to high standards begins with a professional coaching staff fully supported by an active parent organization. The YMCA is nationally recognized for providing quality programs from “learn-to-swim” to elite levels of competition. These programs are designed to maximize each individual’s potential.  Our swimmers set an example of integrity and leadership while representing the community in highest form.

Mission Statement:

The FCFY Riptide swim team instills character development while preparing our athletes to compete at all levels within YMCA and USA swimming. We are a family that supports each individual in pursuit of excellence in the sport of swimming to the best of their ability. We continue to build upon our tradition of success in and out of the pool. We support Safe Sport policies and have expectations of complete compliance. This is directly in line with our values and cultural norms. We provide a safe and supportive environment through a positive team culture; one that promotes Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, and Caring for all. Our team’s combined success is dependent on each individual’s (Coaches Swimmers) commitment and determination to execute their best effort(s), and focus on the process of long-term development while embracing our team’s standards.
