The DCA Mission Statement
"Empowering young people to be champions in life through excellence in swimming"
Our Commitment to Excellence
Dundee City Aquatics, formed on January 1, 2007, through the merger of City of Dundee and Dundee Arnhall swimming clubs, is Central Scotland’s premier competitive swimming program. We are dedicated to fostering excellence in swimming and personal growth, welcoming swimmers of all levels to our vibrant community. Our athletes have achieved regional and national success, and we strive to be the heart of progressive swimming through collaboration, innovation, and dedication.
Our mission is to provide every swimmer with opportunities to pursue excellence, developing not only their skills in the pool but also life-enhancing qualities. We emphasize:
- Integrity and discipline in training and competition.
- Teamwork and sportsmanship in all interactions.
- Confidence and character to succeed beyond the pool.
Our philosophy prioritizes individual growth alongside team success. We encourage swimmers to set challenging yet achievable goals, respect officials and competitors, and demonstrate a strong work ethic. Active family involvement is key, as parents’ support strengthens our athletes and our program.
We nurture each swimmer’s potential, from beginners to those aspiring to world-class levels, in an atmosphere of care and consideration. By teaching the process of achieving—dreaming big, setting goals, working hard, and persevering—we empower young people to become the best they can be as individuals, students, citizens, and athletes.
