  6. Our Mission Statement South Hills Aquatics will provide training and development for team swimmers in the four competitive strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. The SHAQ coaching staff believes there is a direct correlation between a swimmers dedication and success in the sport. The coaching staff tries to instill this maxim with each swimmer : hard work and attendance lead to swimming success. The SHAQ Staff also feels that swimming on a USA team should be an enjoyable experience. Swimmers make new friends, bolster their confidence, develop a spirit of camaraderie with teammates, and are introduced to values such as organization and self-discipline.
