Our Team

Sylvania Tsunami Swim Club is a USA Swimming year-round competitive swim team offering high quality professional coaching and technique instruction for all ages and abilities. The goal of our team is 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. The Sylvania Tsunami Swim Club was established in 1976 by high school coach emeritus Dennis (Butch) Graves to train the children of Sylvania who might ultimately end up swimming on Sylvania High School teams. Through the years, our club has grown to include swimmers from many areas, including Sylvania, Michigan, Toledo, Maumee and WoodCounty. Our primary year-round training facility is the Northview High School Natatorium. The Blue & Senior groups also use Laurel Hills Tennis & Swim Club during the Long Course Season.
 

All of our coaches, as members of the American Swim Coaches Association, have access to the most comprehensive training and certification program for youth coaches of any sport in the United States. They provide assurances that the time children spend in swimming will be quality time.

The Sylvania Tsunami Swim Club, a non-profit club, is run by its elected, volunteer Board of Directors which meets each month. The club’s purpose and structure are defined in the Sylvania Tsunami Swim Club Constitution.
