Hydro-Sonic Tiburones
History
Hydro-Sonic Tiburones is a small, strong,
year-round, competitive swim team in the Gaithersburg, Germantown
and Rockville area. We offer a variety of levels of swimming, from
stroke clinic to senior competition training. Our coaches bring
education, experience and integrity to their work with young
people. At Hydro-Sonic, we focus on developing strong stroke
technique and confident, capable swimmers. Come visit us and learn

The Hydro-Sonic Tiburones Swim Team was
established in January, 2002, by Jorgeand Beth
Silva. Having coached extensively in
the Potomac Valley Swim League, Montomery County Swim League
(Summer) and Montgomery County Public Schools (High School), the
Silvas felt that there was a need for a small but passionate team
in the Upper Montgomery County area. Our coaches’ education
and background both in swimming and in coaching make us uniquely
able to attend to swimmers’ stroke technique.
Since its inception, our team has more than
tripled in size. We have added a variety of training groups so that
we can now provide opportunities for those who swim on a casual
basis as well as for those who pursue swimming as their number one
extracurricular priority. We are proud of the highly qualified
coaches on our staff, including Nathan
Meadows, Kate Ulicny, Allie
McDougall, Scott
Collins, Sami Holtz, Kevin Callanan and Paul Wolf
The TIBU Philosophy
We believe that competitive swimming can be
an incredible experience for children and teenagers. We know that a
swimmer is more than just an athlete in the water — each
child is an individual. At Hydro-Sonic, coaches train swimmers with
an eye on the development of the swimmer over the long haul —
both as an athlete and as a confident young person. Come swim with
the sharks and see the difference yourself!

What Parents are
Saying
"Our children are getting more out of
Jorge’s practices than they ever have on any other
team/clinic and particularly appreciate the individualized
corrections in their stroke. He pays a lot of attention to each
child, which is really a breath of fresh air."
"Jorge has
been a very positive and professional role model. He has helped
[our child] gain self confidence as well as additional technical
skills."
"All of the
coaches with the Tiburones take the time to get to know each
swimmer and work with that child’s learning style. Whether
our child has needed a pep talk and encouragement, a technical
stroke correction or even a reminder of his goals, the Tiburones
staff seem to know the right motivational technique. We highly
recommend this team and coach to anyone interested in improving
their swimming and to having fun with a healthy, demanding
sport."
"Nathan has a great understanding of the
swimmer and a clear step-by-step method of teaching strokes, starts
and turns. His caring attitude promotes a long, healthy and fun
swimming career."
