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."

Linai Vaz de Negri, 2004 National Team Director

Program Mission

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: THSC shall grow to be a recognized and respected leader in the Western Zone of the USSSI.

College: We shall grow to provide research, assistance, and promotion of our members' pursuits in collegiate synchronized swimming.

Community: We shall seek to inspire the growth of developmental programs in the 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.
