Mission Statement

 The Mission of the Lake Erie Silver Dolphin swim team is to develop nationally ranked swimmers and world class citizens. LESD offers swimmers an environment in which swimming excellence is a possible achievement and in which each swimmer can reach his or her full potential.  Within this framework, LESD realizes an obligation to meet the physical, mental, emotional and social needs of all of its swimmers.  At LESD, swimmers have the opportunity to be the best that they can be. Silver Dolphins learn the value of hard work, commitment and self-discipline.  They learn to take responsibility for their actions and to develop a true appreciation for what they as individuals can accomplish.
