Steve Parry from the UK came all the way to
Aberdeen to look at our amazing pool. The British Government
commissioned all kids in Great Britain to learn to
swim. Steve Parry (Total Swimming), go around the country,
erect a swimming pool at a school for 6 weeks, teach kids to
swim, pack up their pool and then move on to the next school.
Our pool would work perfect for this as it is really ez to put
up.

Steve got into the pool and coached our kids during his short
visit. We will see you in London for 2012
Olympics Steve!
Dreams are our
business.
Discipline is our tool,
Excellence is our pursuit.
In the being of one’s
best
Lies the ultimate goal,
Overcoming every test
Fulfillment of the soul
In the striving of success,
Win or lose who knows
But it’s following the
dream
Through excellence that
shows.
In the discipline of self
To go the extra mile,
In doing what it takes
Each sacrifice worthwhile.
Knowing you are not alone
Is the golden key
To making right decisions
For the best you can be.

TRUTHFULNESS
The successful athlete must be
truthful with himself, with those who are there to help him achieve
his goals, and with his teammates. Most of all, he must be
truthful about his successes and failures, for only by being
truthful here can he hope to achieve his full potential as an
athlete and as a person.
COURAGE
Courage is the ability to keep your
composure in competition when it would be easier to fall
apart. It is the fortunate athlete who has the ability to
maintain composure in the face of extreme stiff competition or when
competing in a hostile environment.
PERSISTENCE
All athletes lose, but the athlete
who fails is he who does not rise again and again and again.
And, this is persistence; having the determination to turn every
loss into a victory by standing back up with a renewed commitment
to win the next time.
DIGNITY
Any good athlete with the talent and
determination to succeed will win. But it requires character
to win with dignity just as it requires character to lose with
dignity. This is something more than ability, it is the
essence of sportsmanship.
SUCCESS
Success is achieving one’s
highest potential. It is a combination of determination,
rigorous training, coachability and experience. And, by
improving each day, one can go from success to success.
However, success is seldom achieved alone and failure is seldom the
fault of others.
