TSM Aquatics was established in 1955 and has been a part of the aquatic sports community for over 70 years. It is a dedicated non-profit organization that is parent-owned and coach-led, with a mission to provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment to foster the skills, qualities, and character necessary for achieving excellence in both aquatics and life. The program is anchored by five core values: GRIT, PASSION, COMMUNITY, COMMITMENT, and SPORTSMANSHIP.
The leadership and coaching team includes Mohammad Khadembashi (Head Coach/Executive Director), Iman Khadembashi (Associate Head Coach), and assistant coaches Chris Kang, Dan Heraly, Stefanie Capizzi, Caley Mason, Brian Timmerman, A`ilana Martinez, Matt Flanders (Head Coach/Program Director), Shanna Stevenson, Matt Cianfrone, and Ben Zovickian. The club has nurtured swimmers who have gone on to compete at national and international levels, including Olympians and World Championship athletes, and notes club recognition and achievements.
TSM Aquatics serves a diverse community that extends beyond Santa Monica to nearby neighborhoods such as Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Venice, Culver City, and the Westside of Los Angeles. One parent shared that their 5-year-old improved in listening skills, coordination, following directions, and working with other kids, and that the child is always excited to go to swim class. Another parent shared that what began as swim lessons became a passion that gives their child structure, discipline, confidence, self-determination, and a supportive social circle, and that they have become part of a community of parents connected through competitive swimming.
