can swim one length of the pool without touching the bottom or grabbing 
        the side or lane ropes, he or she should be able to participate in swim 
        team practices.</p>
      <p>Although swimmers may be organized into different practice groups by 
        age group and swim ability or experience, Daleview is one team and all 
        swimmers are full fledge members who are encouraged to participate in 
        and attend all team events. If possible, swimmers should come to every 
        meet, whether or not they are swimming. They are needed by the team to 
        support their teammates.</p>
      <h4>Swimteam Mission and Philosophy</h4>
      <p>The Swim Team mission is to:
	  <ul style="list-style-type:square; padding-top:0px; color: #28006B;">
        <li> Provide an enjoyable and safe recreational experience for children. 
          Swim Team is, first and foremost, fun;</li>
        <li>Encourage and facilitate maximum participation in swimming for all 
          Team members, regardless of swimming skill </li>
        <li> Demonstrate the benefits of work, practice and self discipline to 
          improve swimming skills; and </li>
        <li>Promote teamwork and the principles of good sportsmanship.</li>
      </ul>
      <p>The Daleview Swim Team philosophy is that although there are formal, 
        competitive swim meets that involve trying to win races and score points 
        than the opposing team, each swimmer should take pride in personal development 
        and improvement. A swimmer is always swimming against him/herself, vying 
        to improve his/her times. That effort is always more important than winning 
        or losing.</p>
