● The program began as a 501(c)3 Non profit competitive swim team, established as
Coronado Navy Swim Association in 1963, the program has an extremely rich history in the swimming community, especially within Southern California.

● In 2015 the organization changed its name to Coronado Swim Association (CSA) after the organization no longer had an affiliation with the Navy’s base pools post-9/11.

● Most recently in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, CSA established a synergistic relationship with Team Elite. As our partnership strengthened David Marsh and CSA decided to merge our club programs as one unified entity, Coronado Swim Association-
Team Elite. (CSTE).

● In 2022, the Board of Directors made a deliberate change in the structure of the program and stepped away from a parent-run organization and allowed Coach Joey Gracia to establish Coronado Swim - Team Elite LLC (CSTE LLC) as a new entity, which acquired the branding and swimmers originally managed by the non-profit board.
