Proudly continuing 64 years of competitive swimming history in Pendleton, Oregon

Our History:

The Pendleton Swim Association, Inc. is a qualified 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  We are governed by a Board of Directors that is made up of Swim Club Parents that volunteer their time and efforts in 3-year terms.

Competitive swimming began in Pendleton in 1949.  The club name became the Pendleton Playground Swim Team.  In 1953 the name was changed to the Pendleton Swim Team and in 1962 we became the Pendleton Swim Association.  Our "Fishie" (learn to swim) program was begun in 1977 to serve the needs of the community to assure young children learn to swim.
