The Sea Lions Swim Team is a year round competitive swim team offering high quality professional coaching and technique instruction for youth swimmers. Our goal is to promote competitive swimming activities for the children of our community, under the sanction and guidance of Oregon Swimming Incorporated (https://www.teamunify.com/team/wzorlsc/page/home), under the legal limitations of a non-profit organization. We also work to provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice to international competitor.

We are a non profit club, run by an elected Board of Directors which meets each month. All members are welcome at each meeting and encouraged to be involved in team activities and fundraiser.

We are registered with USA Swimming and work under their guidance and training to ensure the best quality for our swimmers as they learn and grow.  USA Swimming (https://www.usaswimming.org/) is the National Governing Body for amateur competitive swimming in the United States.  USA Swimming was conceived in 1978 with the passage of the Amateur Sports Act, which decreed that all Olympic sports would be administered independently.  Prior to this Act, USA Swimming was the Competitive Swimming Committee of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).  Today, USA Swimming headquarters are at the Olympic Training center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  

USA Swimming is charged with the responsibility to formulate rules, conduct national championships, disseminate safety and sports medicine information, select competitors to represent this country in international competition, and ensure the development of its member clubs and age groups.  USA Swimming is the ruling body of sanctioned swimming meets in the United States.
