| Sun-shine Aquatics Swim Club 
Sun-shine Aquatics was reformed in May, 2006 as a new USA Swimming and Hawaiian Swimming registered club in the State of Hawaii. Founded in 2003, this program has been the unique place where young children learn the correct swimming technique, while enjoying the sport itself. One significant difference to distinguish our program from the others is the fact that we do not primarily pursue the concept of competitiveness, but rather the overall enjoyment of such participation. We are highly committed to provide opportunities for young children to participate in a whole-some, lifesaving, and recreational activity, to learn the correct strokes and technique, to develop good patterns of physical fitness and healthy habits, and to engage in social, emotional, and educational development. With rich background, knowledge and experience, our coaches emphasize on proper forms and technique, and are dedicated to develop among young children the character and self-discipline necessary to succeed not only in swimming but also in other aspects of their lives. In addition, we are determined to promote to all of our participants and member families the value of confidence, excellence at all levels, and leadership in future career. As a community-based recreational program, we strive to nurture a thorough knowledge of the sport itself, to encourage peer and family participation, and to build and maintain a superior swimming program that emphasizes individual growth.
