Our
Philosophy
The philosophy of the
Mississauga Aquatic Club ("MSSAC") is to teach the principles of
sport-culture and to pursue excellence in all endeavours. Our
vision is to become a full service advanced swimming organization
that meets the needs of the community, the Province of Ontario, and
Canada. The Club seeks to lead with excellence from the top to the
bottom, and teach excellence from the bottom to the
top.
The fitness and
competitive program is organized into a group structure that
reflects the psychological, physiological and sociological
development of young children through to late adolescence. These
principles have been outlined in a booklet called the Canadian
Swimming Development Model published by Swimming Canada. It is
available from Swim Ontario. Each group within the Club serves a
distinct purpose and contributes in an integral way to the overall
club development process.
At all times, we
maintain a strong commitment to academic and athletic excellence.
As a result, many MSSAC student-athletes qualify for both academic
and sports scholarships at leading universities in both Canada and
the United States. We make every effort to assist student-athletes
and their families to reach their sport and academic goals,
including providing assistance with negotiations with university
recruiters.
Our
Mission
The Mississauga Aquatic
Club provides progressive programs and offers competitive skills
development and advanced competitive training opportunities for
Mississauga youth. Our high calibre training also encourages
excellence in swimming, good sportsmanship, team spirit and
academic success. We strive to support all members through their
years of development to enjoy the great sport of competitive
swimming.
