Message From PNS Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee:

Pacific Northwest Swimming’s goal is to grow and build harmony amongst the many broad ranges of social groups in our LSC. 

To share and visually strengthen this goal, one of our PNS athletes designed an emblem that represents an attitude of general acceptance for all people. The purpose of this emblem is to affirm awareness and appreciation for all our differences, and to promote the identity and culture of our LSC to be one of inclusion. 

These emblems and posters will be a visual reminder that PNS chooses to embrace and welcome all our members in the LSC. If we all work together, we will be stronger going forward! 

WEST is excited for these posters and what it means to our community; Our WEST team kiddos received a DEI sticker with their 1st team shirt this year and the posters can be seen around our facility. 

Stay Healthy!

Please remember that cold & flu season is here! Dress warmly whenever going outside and remember to take the necessary precautions to protect you and your loved one's health. Whenever outside our homes, act as if everyone we interact with has COVID - keep distance, wear a mask, wash hands often. If we all stay diligent and strong, we continue to protect each other and better our chances of staying open, operating, and teaching.

Happy Swimming!
