AquaMonster Swim Team Philosophy

The Davis AquaMonsters Swim Team is a grass-roots organization offering swimmers a variety of summer recreation and USA Swimming opportunites for children ages 5-18 years. The success of the Aquamonsters team has revolved around the idea that swimmers should have FUN in the sport of swimming and be allowed to participate as a valued team member at any level of commitment.

Our motto, "Every Monster Matters", truly describes our team and our philosophy

We believe there three core areas to best ensure a lifelong enjoyment with the sport of swimming.

Teaching-Based Team: Our team focus, from the young swimmers to the high school competition groups, is on teaching swimming. We are continually working on age appropriate stroke and skill development for all AquaMonsters.
Fitness & Fun: Our coaches work on improving fitness for each of our swimmers. The AquaMonsters have many mulit-sport athletes and swimming is a great source of cross training. We also host inter-squad meets and social activities during the year.
Competition: For those who wish to compete, the summer season features local, exciting and team-oriented dual swim meets, as well as select invitational swim meets and the Sacramento Meet of Champions.

For those that want to compete beyond the summer meets we offer additonal meets as a part of USA Swimming and our high school swimmers also represent their high school swim teams during the school year.

While we invite swimmers to compete in at least one meet, participation is NOT required.

We take Monster pride in our ability to meet and develop each swimmer as an individual — an individual who is part of a strong community of families supporting these goals.

Needs

The Davis AquaMonsters is a community swim team focused on providing a fun, teaching-based environment where swimmers of all ages and abilities can build skills, improve fitness, and enjoy being part of a team. Guided by our “Every Monster Matters” philosophy, we offer structured programming, access to swim meets, and team experiences that support both recreational and competitive swimmers.

We work to keep participation accessible by reducing financial barriers and maintaining a welcoming team culture where diversity is respected and every swimmer can grow, learn, and enjoy the sport.
