Sea Devils
Swimming, formerly known at Swim STMA, was formed in 2002 from a
Community Ed program, and has grown from 45 swimmers to over 200
swimmers. We are a non-profit, parent-run organization that depends
on our coaches, swimmers, and parent volunteers to make our club a
success.
Sea Devils Swimming is one of approximately
60 clubs belonging to the Minnesota Chapter of USA Swimming. USA
Swimming is the national governing body for swimming in
theUnited
States. This organization sets the rules and
administers competition on regional and national levels. The
Minnesota Chapter is referred to as Minnesota Swimming, Inc. or
MSI. It is interesting to note that the USA Swimming age group
swimming program isAmerica’s largest program of guided fitness
activity for children.
We pride ourselves on the sense of community we are creating. We
strive to provide an environment where kids can learn to succeed as
swimmers and as people. Our club combines fun and hard work in a
team-building atmosphere.
We do not focus on what place a swimmer may take; we focus on
their individual times and reward improvement no matter how big or
small. Our swimmers learn about commitment, good sportsmanship, and
dedication; as these are tools not only necessary for swimming, but
also for life.
