In June of 1937, Soichi Sakamoto, a 5th and 6th grade science teacher at Puunene School in Puunene, Maui, called the first meeting of "The Three-Year Swim Club." The purpose of the club was to train young boys and girls from the surrounding area to become Olympic swimmers who would earn a place on the United States Olympic Swim Team competing at the 1940 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.
