About the SC Swimming 2014 Diversity Camp:
South Carolina Swimming will host our 1st ever Diversity Select Camp in an effort to identify the emerging young diverse athletes from under-represented populations in the sport from SCS and offer them a unique motivational and educational experience.
Purpose:
Our purpose for this camp is to celebrate the opportunities of and for diversity in SC Swimming through inspiration of athletes, coaches and volunteers, as well as create local ambassadors and leaders to grow our sport. The purpose of the camp is to instill a vision of success and inspire athletes from ethnically under-represented populations to become leaders in the sport of swimming. We also aspire to empower athletes from ethnically under-represented populations to participate in a one-day camp program which includes pool training, motivational and education sessions and team-building activities.
Goals:
Empower athletes from ethnically under represented populations and their coaches to:
- Demonstrate the viability of multicultural success in swimming within our LSC
- Achieve performance excellence throughout the sport
- Introduce the benefits and value of participating in the sport of swimming
- Develop positive leaders and role models that others from multicultural backgrounds can emulate
- Connect, network and promote the virtues of the sport of swimming through a comprehensive strategy involving the athletes and SCS members in their own local areas and throughout SCS.
