Program Mission & Vision
"Synchronized
swimming is an exciting sport that combines the athleticism of
swimming, the acrobatics and precision of gymnastics and figure
skating, and the artistry of ballet and dance. It is one of the best
overall fitness activities you can find. It also develops other
important traits in young athletes such as self- discipline,
determination, confidence, good sportsmanship, time management skills,
and more. Competition allows the swimmer to experience success and
learn how to deal with defeat while becoming healthy and physically
fit."

The
Tualatin Hills Synchro Club (THSC) aspires to build upon commitments to
the principles of growth, sportsmanship, the pursuit of excellence, and
healthy competition.
Growth:
THSC shall strive to foster the physical and emotional growth of our
swimmers and coaches, through the challenges and joys of synchronized
swimming.
Sportsmanship:
We will build our team on a foundation of sportsmanship and respect.
Excellence:
We will each endeavor to find our maximum potential, and to perform at
the highest levels, both in individual competition, and as a team.
Competition:
We will inspire the goals and dreams of healthy competition.
Through
our belief in these principles, THSC will support our swimmers in their
quest to grow as competitive swimmers, but more importantly, as people
of commitment and integrity.
Program Vision
The
Mission of THSC shall promote the growth of our organization, as well
as its members. We envision the evolution of THSC into an organization
that supports its members, the community, and the USSSI in many ways.
Leadership:

Zone of the USSSI.

We shall grow to provide research, assistance, and promotion of our

Portland Metropolitan Area.
Recreation:
We shall grow to provide two unique opportunities: while adhering to
our core values, a swimmer can choose a path focusing on the enjoyment,
athleticism, and artistry of synchronized swimming; or, a swimmer can
choose a path that combines those elements with the pursuit of advanced
competition.
Skills:
We shall provide training and development opportunities for our
swimmers and coaches through invited guests or travel to clinics.
