Dear Nadadores, The Mission Viejo Nadadores Foundation Board invites you to join us for the 2024 Annual Meeting at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, October 16, 2024,
Our Elite Team is one of the most premier groups of divers in the United States. It regularly consists of USA Diving Team Champions, USA Diving Individual National Champions and USA Diving National Team athletes. We are constantly striving to give athletes in this portion of our program an amazing experience that will not only teach lessons in the pool, but also outside that will carry them through the rest of their lives. Who our athletes are as people when they leave this program is of the upmost importance.
The Elite Team athletes will always take a long-term approach in their training. Placement on the Elite Team is done by showing a high proficiency in the necessary fundamentals which are the building blocks for success in the sport. A slow progression will be followed from one skill to the next ensuring that our athletes are always excelling in the skills they are attempting. While it is easy for coaches, athletes, and parents to look at the present success of athletes, the Nadadores approach will always have an eye towards the future to ensure they will excel to their peak potential. If we skip steps in our progressions for short-term success, we limit our athletes ability to be the best they can be down the road.
