Only a few of the best swimmers will become Olympians, but kids of all ages remember three things about their swimming experience: FUN, FRIENDS and EXCELLENCE.

The San Gabriel Sea Gulls (SGSG) started off as a very successful summer only program in late 1950s. During this period, the City of San Gabriel Park & Recreation Department sponsored the San Gabriel Sea Gulls. In May of 1991, George Young turned SGSG into a year-round USA Swimming swim team.

SGSG has always approached competitive swimming in a serious way, while also including the important points of water safety awareness in its goals. SGSG has promoted water safety awareness to thousands of people throughout the San Gabriel Valley and has produced numbers of lifeguards, swim instructors and swim coaches. SGSG has a program for all ages and abilities: novice level to national level swimmers. SGSG swimmers are organized into 4 progressive training groups: Junior Bronze, Bronze, Silver and Gold.
