About
Us
Solo Aquatics is a fully sanctioned competitive USA Swimming
program that operates eleven months out of the year and offers
two seasons of training and competition.
SOLO prides itself on offering quality coaching and
a motivating and exciting environment in which to train.
We provide swimmers with the opportunity to improve, strive for
excellence, enjoy the sport of swimming, and pursue their dreams.
A swimmer must be able to complete one full length of the
pool (25 yards) of both freestyle and backstroke without
assistance to be considered for membership.
Solo Aquatics and
the sport of swimming involve a commitment on the part of the
swimmer as well as the parent. Traveling to meets,
training sessions, fundraising, volunteering at meets, long
hours at the pool and an honest effort are all part of being a
swimmer or "swim parent."
Solo Aquatics competes as a member of USA Swimming and New England
Swimming. Solo and USA Swimming provide swimmers with the opportunity to
compete at regional, national and international levels.
USA Swimming meets are offered throughout each season, and both
the winter and summer seasons culminate with a Championship
meet. Swimmers are
encouraged to swim in the fastest championship meets for which
they qualify. Those swimmers who achieve the necessary
qualifying standards will participate at the New England
Championship Meets, the Speedo Sectional Championship, the U.S.
Open, and/or the U.S. Senior or Junior National Meets.
Mission
Statement
Solo Aquatics
provides an opportunity for individual swimmers to work as one
unified team in the pursuit of excellence in swimming and all other
aspects of life. Our
dedicated coaching staff provides our swimmers with much more than
exceptional in-water training. Teamwork,
self-esteem, goal setting, sportsmanship and time management are
just a few of the many values our swimmers receive.
Our goal is to produce elite-level students, swimmers and
citizens.
"Desire
is the most important factor in the success of any athlete."
