WHO WE ARE
TSUNAMI is a non-profit Club, primarily for school-age swimmers in their pursuit of swimming excellence.
The Club is run by the parents of the athletes and is directed by qualified coaches.
In order for the club to be operated effectively and efficiently, it must ensure that:
1) there are sufficient funds to operate,
2) suitable training venues are secured,
3) qualified coaches are hired,
4) oversight of the total operation is ongoing,
5) Long Term Athlete Development (LATD) is a program objective, and
6) it recognizes and develops future leadership.

OUR HISTORY IN BRIEF
Port Alberni has had a competitive swim club since the Echo pool was built in 1967. It has produced
National level swimmers in every decade since, and continues to provide programs that encourage its members to make the most of their athletic talent.

TSUNAMI was incorporated on Dec 6th 1985 by the parents of interested swimmers for the purpose of extending their competitive swimming experience. While others have proceeded them, our most recent swimmers of excellence are Donnie Nicholson, a 2008 Simon Fraser University Graduate and Sarah Galesloot, a 3rd year University of Lethbridge student (participant 2008 Canadian Olympic Trials in Montreal). Both have left their mark on the Port Alberni swimming scene.

TSUNAMI is proud to be:
Swimmer centered -- Parent supported -- Coach directed.
