Mission
Statement
To provide members of
the community a competitive, USA Swimming affiliated program for
swimmers of all ages and abilities in order to enhance and support
the high school swimming and diving program within Jenks Public
Schools, and to develop each athlete as far as their mental and
physical talents will allow.
Tradition and Philosophy
Tradition of
Excellence
The JENKS TROJAN SWIM
CLUB is very proud of its swimmers, their accomplishments, and the
finest group of volunteer swim parents in Oklahoma. Since 1996,
JTSC has become one of the top age group programs in Oklahoma with
numerous state champions and record holders. We have had swimmers
compete at every level of USA Swimming, had numerous honor roll
students and academic All-Americans, and National Age Group Top 16
rankings.
The JTSC
tradition of excellence serves as a foundation upon which to build
even greater success in our future. We eagerly look forward to
seeing our swimmers continue their accomplishments at the
local level, as well as further their achievements at the regional
and national level.
Philosophy
The JTSC program is
characterized philosophically by the principle of self-image
psychology and positive character development. Program design is
concerned with guiding and directing individuals toward maximum
development of their talents and abilities by providing swimmers
the opportunity to use their talents to "BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE".
The staff endeavors to take swimmers as far as their talent and
desire will take them. Our goal is to teach, train, and motivate
young people to achieve and believe in themselves as they grow and
develop.
The JTSC
program strives to instill in young swimmers an understanding of
and appreciation for such concepts as, self-motivation, goal
setting, and goal achievement as these ideas relate to their
success in training and in competition.
At each level
of the program, swimmers are instructed to strive for excellence.
Everyone is encouraged to "BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE". This philosophy
is consistent throughout the program.
Team History
Jenks Community
Education, a division of Jenks Public Schools, formed the JENKS
TROJAN SWIM CLUB in the fall of 1996. At the time, there was a
community need for a USA Swimming affiliated club that would
support and compliment the Jenks High School Swimming and Diving
program. Jenks swimming from club to high school is the most
successful program in the state of Oklahoma.
In its first
year, JTSC placed in the top six in the State Club Championship
Meets, sent a strong contingent to the Region Meet and has had
swimmers compete in the National Junior Championships. In our
second year, we equaled our inaugural year's accomplishments, and
furthered our accomplishments by sending our first swimmer to
Senior National Championships.
We have grown to
over 100 swimmers and continue to expand and improve our program
each year. Our professional staff guides our swimmers from a learn
to swim program, to the USA Swimming program (Novice level through
to Senior National.)
