Water Safety
We encourage our members and the general public to be water competent. Water competency is the ability to anticipate, avoid and survive common drowning situations as well as recognize and provide assistance to those in need.
Good Sportsmanship
We believe behavior defines the character of each person. Good sportsmanship is about teamwork, playing fair, treating each other with respect, and learning to win and lose with dignity. It provides opportunities for life lessons for people of all ages.
