Kari Beene Moore Secretary Kari was grew up player soccer and in her 30s she realized running was no longer sustainable. She started swimming with Tsunami in 2013 and joined the synchronized swimming team in 2019. Outside of the pool she is either watching soccer, binge watching reality TV or attempting to learn French. |
Chris Bardales President A lifelong swimmer, Chris Bardales has been swimming with the San Francisco Tsunami for seven years. Prior to serving as the President of Directors, Chris was the team’s Social Chair from 2021-2023. His favorite events consist of anything Backstroke! |
Tyson Bell Government Liaison Tyson has been swimming for over ten years with Tsunami. He joined Tsunami to meet new people, get a full body exercise, and reignite his childhood passion for swimming. As the government liaison, Tyson’s responsibility is to ensure the team has an open communication with the city, the pool staff and ensure pool time is scheduled. Along with swimming, you’ll find him hiking, waterskiing, snow skiing, wakeboarding and paddleboarding. |
Zach Farley SOCIAL Zach has been swimming for over 25 years and (begrudgingly) recently came out as a butterflier. He is rounding off his second year with Tsunami, and his first as the Social Chair.If you're new and see him on the pool deck, you can ask him about BBQ, public transit, or Carly Rae Jepsen as he is probably avoiding jumping into the pool. |
William Mee
Media & Technology
Will is a fast runner, a fast cyclist and as a swimmer realizes he can't win them all. He's been swimming with Tsunami for 8 years, and outside of the pool he media-tes for Tsunami.
