athletic and personal success by teaching effective swim
techniques; introducing the concept of positive mental imagery;
emphasizing the principles of goal setting; and promoting the
ideals of honesty, commitment, self-discipline, good sportsmanship
and team unity.

parental involvement in the planning, coordination and
implementation of various team activities.
Moreover, the Corvallis Aquatic Team intends to provide a positive
atmosphere with a strong sense of team unity while emphasizing
individual success.
CAT consists of swimmers, coaches, and parents; none could exist
without support from the others. We want to assist our
swimmers to develop with fun, challenging and growing experiences;
we want to encourage professional satisfaction and growth for our
coaches, and we want to help our parents enjoy their volunteer
efforts and cope with the details of competitive
swimming.
