Blast from the past!

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!)

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. He started the Tualatin Hills Swim Club in 1957, and has coached boys and girls teams at Beaverton, Aloha and Southridge high schools.
