S.W.A.T.

SWAT Team

S.W.A.T. stands for Students Working All Together. These are our senior students and top grades who help teach across our classes, passing on patterns, skills and techniques to their fellow students, and pitching in with whatever the club needs day to day. It's what makes D1TKD feel like a family.
