About Hickam Hurricanes
The Hickam Hurricanes are a year-round USA Swimming competitive swim team based on Oahu. Volunteer-run, parent-fueled, and military proud, our program provides opportunity and encouragement for all swimmers to pursue excellence.
We believe swimming teaches integrity, character, discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship. As a military-affiliated team, we understand the unique challenges military families face and work to create a welcoming, supportive environment where every athlete can thrive.
Our Vision
We help each athlete reach their personal potential through competitive swimming. The lessons learned in the pool transfer to whatever future goals our athletes pursue.
