The Huntington Y Charleston Aquatic Team (HYCAT) is committed to pursuing excellence. Our program emphasizes individuality within a team concept. Success is measured by self-improvement and not comparison to others. Continued self-improvement will naturally lead to success measured against others, but individual improvement is our goal.
We also believe that sports can be used to teach character. We preach attitude of accountability, respect for others and caring for one another. Swimmers are shown how to succeed through goal setting, hard work and dedication. The learning of and application of new skills are stressed. Swimmers are taught to pursue excellence in the pool through establishing good practice and personal habits, and then encouraged to apply them to each area of their life.
It is this comprehensive approach that we believe sets us apart. State of the art technique, a complete approach to each childs development and committed, professional coaching.
