RED FOX AQUATIC CLUB PHILOSOPHY:

1. To help each individual swimmer realize his or her potential to its fullest. The human qualities of self-motivation and self-discipline are emphasized to achieve this goal.

2. To give the swimmer a basic understanding of human anatomy and principles that create human motion. It is not enough to know "how" a skill is performed, but "why" it is performed.

3. RFAC strives to create a safe, healthy and supportive team-family environment. To do so RFAC has developed along with USA Swimming guidelines, Athlete Protection Policies and Safe Sport Guidelines and Resources available to all team members and families.

4. And finally, to introduce the individual to the stresses of competitive athletics and their affects on life.
