Well Rounded Team Performance In Nashville For The Tsunamis! Led by our latest Southeastern Champion, Michael Duderstadt, your Tsunamis put together one of the most well-rounded performances in team history. Earning valuable team points in the 10 & Under Girls, 11-12 Girls, 11-12 Boys, 13-14 Girls, Senior Girls and Senior Boys, PCST showed that we are a deeper team than we have ever been. The trick about the Southeastern Championship meet is that depth is not rewarded except for at the highest level, making it diffficult to move up in...

PCST Is Expanding The Lessons Program To The Spring Months Now! As some of you may know, the Panama City Swim Team began our first ever "Summer Lessons" program during the summer months of 2012.  It was a huge success with 90 young aspiring swimmers participating!  For 2013, we will not only be returning with our Summer Splashes AND Summer Lessons programs, but will also be adding a SPRING LESSONS Program at FRANK BROWN PARK in April and May for the first time ever!! Aside from the dates of the program,...

8 & Unders Lead Tsunamis To Record Finish at Southeastern District Championships! For those of you who know me, you understand why I love the District Championship meet so much each year.  Not only is it a chance for some of our up and coming hard working Tsunamis to shine brighter than ever, it's also an opportunity to go lots of best times, get new Southeastern Cuts, and bring a spotlight to some new very deserving swimmers.  I am proud to say that we achieved all of those things at...

Ortiz and Webber Represented Our PCST Masters Program at Auburn Invite! This time last year some of you probably remember hearing about the PCST Masters team at the Auburn Invitational.  However, this time last year the PCST Masters team was................well................me.  :)  This year I am proud to say that our adult masters program is not only a proven success, but we even have a couple of awesome swimmers who participated in the Auburn Meet (and I'm not one of them!).  A big congratulations go out to Christian Webber and Jamie...

Gobel and Duderstadt Lead PCST To A Tight Team Finish! Each year PCST heads to the Mac Crutchfield Invitational in Tallahassee to go up against the mighty Area Tallahassee Aquatic Club in their home meet.  And since ATAC outnumbers the next team 3 to 1 in total swimmers, the battle for second place overall is typically the exciting one to keep an eye on.  While PCST has won the "visiting team" 1st place trophy on multiple occassions, we had other goals in mind this time around in Tallahassee.  Of course,...

Smith and Ashley Bring Home The Hardware To Lead PCST At Rick Byers Memorial Invite! The Tsunamis took home the second place visiting team trophy at the 11th Annual Rick Byers Memorial Invitational this weekend in Fort Walton, Florida.  Twenty-two swimmers, accompanied by Novice Coaches Kelcee and Brad, amassed a large enough total to finish 3rd overall and second place for visiting teams. And since our Tsunamis had a "split squad" for the weekend with over 50 swimmers competing in the ATAC meet at the same time, I'd say that...

Tsunamis Continue To Move Forward In Committment To Excellence With National Recognition! Over the past seven years, the Panama City Swim Team has been working diligently to become one of the premier fully operational aquatics programs in the entire United States.  While it is easy to use fast swimming times as a benchmark for success, the truly critical component necessary to achieve our goals as a team is organization and preparation.  Even before I took over the program in 2006, the Tsunamis were working hard to lay the foundation for...

Hey Tsunamis! First off, I would like to say Happy New Year to each of you! I hope all of our Tsunami swimmers and families enjoyed a wonderful holiday season and a great new year to start 2013. I am writing to simply go over some of our team goals for the upcoming second half of the short course season as well as the remainder of the year. I also wanted to provide you with some valuable reminders that are essential to being a member of the Tsunami family. So...

Tsunamis Among Top Teams in USA Swimming With Duderstadt Leading The Way! I have just recently received a couple of very cool items in the mail from USA Swimming that I wanted to pass along to our Tsunami swimmers and families.  While our official mission statement for the Panama City Swim Team is to "Promote youth swimming in Bay County," that does not even begin to express just how far we plan on "promoting" swimming among our youth.  As many of you know, PCST has come a very long way...
