Team Background

Chesterfield Aquatic League

The mission of the Chesterfield Aquatic League is to provide our swimmers and their families an opportunity to participate in organized swimming in a setting that promotes growth and fellowship.

To our swimmers we will provide a fun and enjoyable atmosphere that encourages the principles of honesty, integrity, and good sportsmanship through competition; enhances physical fitness; builds self-esteem; and allows for the development of new friendships.

To our families we will provide a fun activity that emphasizes the involvement of the entire family and community in a surrounding that encourages camaraderie and a commitment to common goals.

To our teams we will provide an environment that fosters the development of team spirit through the commitment of the group to the above values and principles.

We believe we can best accomplish our mission through a unified effort toward mutual trust, honesty and integrity between swimmers, families, swim teams and communities.
