As in much of life, if you are willing to do hard things, you will be very successful. In many of the harder events, the odds are better to earn points and medals.

JFD has always stressed the courage and character it takes to swim the harder events, so let’s rally our determination and enter the harder events and lead our team to victory.

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL TOUGHNESS!!

SCORE FOR THE TEAM!!

BE A LEADER!!

For many years now, JFD typically dominates our division at Spring Champs.

 How do you do it?

Of course you all do well and score big in the sprints!!

Also, many of our JFD swimmers compete and score in very hard events.

And JFD scores big in the very exciting & thrilling relays

This meet epitomizes the JFD Motto

Have an  “Impossible Dream”;

"Daring Greatly" to achieve it, and

“Don’t Quit” until you do.

The “Impossible Dream” does not mention winning / points…

But does highlight doing things you once thought impossible.

 “Daring Greatly”  was adopted from Teddy Roosevelt specifically designed to inspire people to try hard things without fearing failure.

“Don’t Quit” obviously implies that life is hard – just don’t quit.

Also JFD swimmers show great spirit by cheering for others during all events, and especially during relays. Relays are always a lot of points, and a lot of fun. While we all know that everyone cannot compete in the relays, JFD swimmers are awesome at supporting their teammates participating in these exciting races. 

This world is very, very tough, and JFD wants to prepare you to do hard things.

 For a team our size, JFD overwhelmingly enters and places in the toughest events. Many of our novice swimmers have medals in distance events – tangible reminders of their living the JFD motto:

Of course scoring points is a goal – a challenge that brings out things we never thought we could do. But too much focus on points can put our satisfaction out of our control. What we love most about swimming is that it is more like real life…we work very hard to improve our status in life, and have a good way to measure our progress. A best time is a great, concrete, factual way to know you can make progress. We see a best time as a direct result of the effort you put into achieving it.

 You have worked hard all season long.  You have swum the long distances in practices, now you can showcase the skills and courage you’ve developed at Spring Champs.
