KKWSC was started in 1973 by Gene Horne, with an
emphasis on skill building and competition. Enthusiasm and support for the
sport was generated during this first year, as parents took an
active role in the club. From these beginnings, KKWSC has
increased its membership to over 80 swimmers competing on a year
round basis in meets ranging from Alaska to the Pacific Northwest
and the Western United States.
KKWSC is organized as a nonprofit
organization and is open to all swimmers ages 6 and older, from
novice to national competition levels. Killer Whales strives
for the athlete to attain maximum potential as both a swimmer and a
contributing team member, and encourages a family-oriented
experience, where the parents can play an active role in their
swimmer’s and the club’s development.
Swimmers interested in joining Killer Whales,
should have completed Level 3 in swim lessons, or be able to
demonstrate freestyle and backstroke, and good listening
skills. We look forward to seeing you on the pool
deck!
