Our goals

MSC was organized in the early 1960s to create a public team for Lamorinda youth interested in a competitive recreational swimming program. MSC remains the only public team in the 10-member Orinda Moraga Pools Association (OMPA). Swimming is our main focus and we place a premium on quality coaching. Our 2005 coaching staff has been carefully selected to bring together a group of talented and experienced individuals dedicated to inspiring every swimmer to be the best that they can be. The primary goal of the Miramonte Swim Club is to promote personal development and self-esteem in each swimmer.

The MSC Board has developed the following guidelines for our program:

Provide a balanced program for both "A" and "B" swimmers of all ages.

Provide all swimmers with individualized attention, stroke instruction, practice time and rewards.

Focus on start, stroke and turn proficiency in all four strokes.

Maintain the reputation as a team that provides quality coaching, has great spirit and is the most enjoyable club to belong to.

Place an emphasis upon building each swimmer's self-esteem and to promote team spirit among the coaches, parents and swimmers.

Create a social environment that promotes a sense of community and friendship between the parents, coaches and swimmers.
