Port Angeles Swim Club
The Port Angeles Swim Club’s goal is to create an environment where swimmers strive for excellence both in and out of the pool. We encourage our team members to demonstrate sportsmanship through their attitudes, actions, and beliefs.
Our coaching staff is dedicated to supporting each athlete’s success, using their expertise to help swimmers develop self-discipline and responsibility. We are committed to fostering healthy competition in a sport that offers a lifetime of enjoyment and fulfillment.
