The mission statement for Swim Saskatchewan recognizes the important role that Swim Saskatchewan has in providing a governance and leadership structure to the sport, while also recognizing the important role it plays in supporting and providing resources to strengthen the abilities of the entire swimming community – clubs, athletes, coaches, officials and other volunteers to continually move forward and evolve the sport of swimming in Saskatchewan. 

Through governing, Swim Saskatchewan promotes and ensures fairness in the sport while also promoting the sport to decision makers in the community, such as funders and municipal partners.  In providing leadership, Swim Saskatchewan brings together the community to collaborate and inspire all individuals to lead in their respective areas.  Resources are provided through educational opportunities, fundings, programs and services to support the work of all those involved.  Through support, Swim Saskatchewan can guide clubs and promote the collective community to succeed. 

The vision of Swim Saskatchewan recognizes that swimming can support the development of individuals beyond the competitive aspects of the sport and create opportunities for each individual to have a better life.  This is accomplished by: 

·         Learning of life skills as a part of participating in the sport

·         Recognition of the survival and lifesaving skills that are inherent in the sport

·         Sense of community that is created within the sport; and

·         Health and fitness benefits the sport can provide for all ages and stages of development.

Integrity:  Swim Saskatchewan is committed to demonstrating honesty and strong moral principles in its decision making, program/services and interactions with the community.  We will ensure accountability, transparency, consistency and a fairness in our work to support our members while we continue to build and enhance trust within the swimming community.  

Community:  Swim Saskatchewan values cooperation and collaboration with the entire swimming community where, as a collective group of individuals (athletes, coaches, officials, board members, staff and volunteers) and organizations (Swim Saskatchewan and clubs) we come together to make meaningful connections and create experiences in an environment supported by teamwork, a growth mindset and where we strive for everyone to have a sense of belonging to the sport of swimming. 

Stewardship:  Swim Saskatchewan recognizes the careful and responsible management entrusted to the organization to care for the sport of swimming in Saskatchewan and aims to do so through modelling exemplary leadership, influencing the important role swimming can play in the broader sport community and displaying strength and confidence to support the needs of the members to enable a thriving sport.
