Synchronized swimming . . . it takes your breath away!!

The Tualatin Hills Synchronized Swimming Club (T-Hills) has been fostering the growth of athletes in the Portland/Beaverton area for over 20 years. Our swimmers range in age from 7 to 70+, and compete in various age groups from the local to national level.

The sport requires strength, endurance, flexibility, rhythm, and team work! Our coaching staff prepare athletes to meet all the requirements of this demanding sport.

The club enjoys a close tie with the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District (THPRD), though it receives no direct financial support from the District. Practices are held at the THPRD Aquatic Center during the week and at the Sunset Swim Center on Sunday evenings.

Update

Classic Invitational, Kirkland, WA MEETING

It's time to schedule traveling meeting. This meeting is mandatory for all parents and athletes who will be traveling.

Meeting will be held on Sunday April 13, from 3-4pm at Sunset.

1. Please make sure that you have your insurance information with you. We will be reviewing and updating your insurance information during meeting.

2. Also we will be reviewing and updating all information that you provided to the club in the beginning of the year to make sure that coaches and chaperons have latest information.

3. My first take on estimated travel expenses comes to 225.20 dollars per athlete. Revisions are possible. Please make sure to bring check book to the meeting I'll be collecting payments.

Private and Semiprivate Lessons

In our sport many athletes benefit from individual attention during private & semiprivate lessons, much like tutoring or extra help for schoolwork in subjects difficult for your athlete. During private lessons, coaches will work on the skills that the swimmer's squad coach feels are the most important for that swimmer.

Privates can be conducted for an athlete by any of the coaching staff for basic skills and figures.

THPRD restricts when and where club coaches may conduct private lessons (this applies to all of the club aquatic sports):

Coaches will ask that you or your athlete sign for each private lesson, and then they will be billed to you. Each of our coaches decides their own rate, and will be happy to discuss it with you.

If you have any other questions that I've not answered here, please let me know!
