Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New year, Happy Birthday holiday babies, Happy anything else you might be celebrating this season. (If you can still read this, that alone is worth celebrating in my book!)

Blast from the past!

06/25/2017

A large number of the TAG kids in the cover photo for this page are graduating from college this year. Some of them have continued swimming all the way through college. They are pursuing many different careers in many different locations in the country and even the world. But they will always have all of those years together as Thunderbolts in common. (And so will their parents!)

12/18/2016

This weekend reminds me of the year we had to cut the International Meet short so the swimmers could get to the airport before it closed!

06/30/2016

So how many current and former Thunderbolts are in this year's Olympic Trials. The Thunderbolt History doc has a list of every THSC member who has been in the Olympic Trials. It would be nice if someone kept that going! http://www.teamunify.com/SubTabGeneric.jsp?team=osthsc&_stabid_=1491

THSC Club founder, Rod Harman, One of THPRD’s first lifeguards, Harman was inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame in May 2012 after devoting his life to mentoring young swimmers.
