Philosophy
While competing is part of what NVSL is all about, at Rutherford we place equal emphasis on all parts of summer swimming and diving. Our philosophy for the season is:
Water Rats, coaches and parents having fun and working hard, both individually and as part of a team,
in a respectful atmosphere.
In keeping with the NVSL’s goals and standards of conduct we hope to “develop in our children a love for the sport, advanced aquatic skills, teamwork and the principles of good sportsmanship.” We ask that all families and their swimmers and divers keep this philosophy in mind throughout the season and work together in the best interests of the team.
