The Menlo Mavericks is a year round swim team which aims to create a swimming community that is extremely positive about being in and around the water. We emphasize learning sound techniques through our committed and competent coaches in a pleasant and positive environment. With a team segmented into smaller groups to meet the needs of swimmers of all ability levels, the Menlo Mavericks receive the best quality of coaching, instruction, and fun.

We create passionate swimmers using two steps:

1. Fundamentals — For passionate swimmers to blossom, they must have sound and solid swimming technique fundamentals. The ease and joy of water activity is enhanced with efficient body movement patterns. We will not compromise this step ever from our Swim School, Jr. Menlo Mavericks, Menlo Mavericks, and the Summer Mavericks programs.
   
   
2. Diversity — Always offering a varied and changing menu of swim activities that challenges and engages the individual to progress, develop, and evolve as swimmers.  Speed, rankings, and times are not necessarily the driving motivator behind our philosophy.

We strive to develop self-esteem, cardio vascular fitness as well as strength, flexibility, and balance.  By offering all these items we hope to create a swimmer whose attendance consistency is high.

We believe that if the swimmer is having fun ... they will continue to come.
We believe that if the swimmer comes ... they will progress.
We believe that if the swimmer progresses ... they will increase their self-confidence.
We believe that if the swimmer's self-confidence is high ... they will become passionate swimmers.
We believe that if a swimmer is passionate ... they are a Maverick.
