is a parent-run competitive swim team of 80+ swimmers which is a group member of Hawaiian Swimming, the delegate for the Local Swim Committee of the national USA Swimming Association. We are a 501(c)3 non- profit organization based at the Makiki District Park pool with a satellite pool at the Hongwanji Mission School. Our Philosophy
Splash Aquatics, through the sport of swimming, promotes the gro
wth and development of our youth and seeks to help develop valuable, character-building life-skills that reach beyond the water into all aspects of the swimmers? Our swimmers are grouped by age and ability to create an environment in which swimmers of all levels may develop to their fullest potential, achieve increasing levels of success, and have fun whether they are beginners or advanced athletes. Swimming can be time-consuming but need not be life-consuming. Parents and swimmers alike support the notion that swimming is a complement to a child?s development. Coaches, parents and swimmers know that even though the hardest worker in the pool does not always win the race, their commitment and persistence will enable them to achieve their best, both in and out of the pool. This lesson will be of immeasurable worth, not only in each athletes swimming career, but also throughout their school years, and throughout his/her life. Our History:
Splash Aquatics was founded in August of 2009. While a relatively young club, Splash Aquatics has had a successful history of placing within the Top 5 out of approximately 30+ USA Swim Teams in the State of Hawaii. Splash Aquatics has been successful in developing a number of our swimmers who have qualified and participated in the Western Regional Zone Championships with Team Hawaii over the past 3 years. In addition over the past 3 years, Splash Aquatics swimmers Victoria Zukeran, Grant Zukeran, Greg Zukeran, Kyle Sakai, Michael Sakai, Gabriel Hanaoka, Sydney Kimura, Kelcie Kimura, Caitlyn Whang have qualified as Senior Sectional swimmers which is the next level above the Western Region Zones. In fact, for the first time in the history of our club, we recently sent our Senior coach along with 5 swimmers (Victoria, Grant, Greg, Kyle and Gabe) to the Senior Sectionals in March 2013. A notable accomplishment and honor by one of our swimmers occurred in the spring of 2010 when then 12 year old, Victoria Zukeran was selected by USA Swimming to participate in an elite training camp, the USA Swimming Western Zone Select Camp which was by invitation only to 16 female and 16 male swimmers from across the Western Zone which encompasses 13 Western States.
