Congratulations to our 2026 All-Star Team! With our fantastic coaching staff, Head Coach Troy, and coaches Ananya, Jackson, and Kelli, our first team-travel meet of the new year was a success!
 
The PNS All-Stars traveled to Pacifica, CA to compete in the 2026 Pac Coast All-Star meet. This meet celebrates fast age-group swimming along the west coast, consisting of All-Star teams from those LSCs: Southern California, Pacific, Oregon, and Pacific Northwest. This year we finished 3rd overall, behind Southern California and Pacific.
 
The coaches were so impressed with the level of competition and team spirit brought by TEAM PN. It was a pleasure to see the camaraderie built between the athletes, new and old. A huge thank you to all the families and teams who supported this year, and a special shout out to our chaperones, Klaudia and Nick.

Competition provided a lot of learning and growth. This meet is a tough one for our LSC coming off December champs and the holidays. Emotions were strong, encompassing both the highs and lows of the meet. The coaches did a great job celebrating every effort, best time or not. Everyone should be very proud of what they brought and took away from the trip.
 
We’re all looking forward to the future of age group swimming in the Pacific Northwest!
