The Portland Porpoise Swim Club (PPSC) coaches and parent board pride themselves on striving to offer the best competitive swim programming in the area, modeled after swim programs that are successful at a national level. Beyond success in the water, the coaches, board, and club members believe that the sport of swimming provides children with skills that allow them to succeed academically, civically, and athletically.

PPSC feels that the benefits to participating with our club are intrinsically valuable, as we provide each child with the stepping stones for success. While participating on the team, children learn the importance and benefits of community, team, sportsmanship, and collegiality as well as the holistic benefits of developing an innate sense of motivation and determination to attain self-defined goals. Swimmers practice these guidelines daily, and especially at competitive events.

The ultimate purpose of the Portland Porpoise Swim Club is to develop individuals with tools vital to success at the local, regional, and national levels, under the tutelage and guidance of the PPSC staff that combined has professional coaching experience of over 30 years.
