Long standing
Aquatics History
Swimming was the main
reason The Hills opened its doors in the summer of 1962. Pacific
Masters Record Holder Al Kallunki taught swimming and brought team
swimming to The Hills through the 1960’s and 1970’s.
His dedication to the learn-to-swim program gave The Hills a solid
reputation of producing talented swimmers. From lap and
recreation swimming, we also offer beginning swimming at all ages
to advanced senior level competition. With private and group
lessons we prepare swimmers to join our year round Hills Hurricane
Swim Team where we compete against the top swimmers in one of the
nation’s top leagues, “Pacific Swimming”. The
Hills swim team is a member of the United States Swimming
Organization.

Team
Hills Hurricane
Swimming is a year-round USS youth team that participates in 1 - 2
swim meets a month with Pacific Swimming. Swimmers begin at 6
years old to advanced senior level swimmers in High School.
Beginner swimmers must master 50yd freestyle with side breathing,
25yd backstroke, 30 seconds of treading in deep water, and
streamline 5ft off the wall. All swimmers are required to register
with Pacific Swimming. Full group descriptions, registration,
and meet/practice schedule below.
We also offer a very
popular Pre-Competition Swim Team group for children age 4 - 10
years old. The Manta Rays and Tidal Waves practice January
through November. These groups incorporate beginning level
swimming skills to pre-competition skills. This is the best
opportunity to prepare a child for our swim team here at The
Hills.
The team allows a
limited number on Non-club members into the program. Please
contact Coach Shad for availability.
