Sharks Groups

Sand Sharks
This novice group is for children 3 years old and over who can swim at least ten yards, taking at least one breath. Sand Sharks is ideal for children with older siblings in our Sharks program or other younger swimmers who would like the team experience, but are not yet ready for Tiger Sharks.

Tiger Sharks
Beginning group for swimmers four and half years old and over who are self-sufficient in the water, but have had little or no experience on a swim club. Emphasis is on developing movement patterns that are controlled and efficient. Focus will be on freestyle and backstroke.

Leopard Sharks
Intermediate group for swimmers seven years old and older who have had some experience with a swim club or are able to swim 100 yards freestyle without stopping. Emphasis is on mastering basic stroke patterns involved in all four competitive strokes.

Hammerhead Sharks
Advanced group for swimmers nine years old and older who are proficient in all four strokes. Emphasis is on improving strokes and introducing conditioning techniques. Competition start and turn skills will also be developed.

If you are unsure which group is best for your child, sign him/her up for the group in which you feel certain he/she can be successful. If your child needs to be moved up, the coaching staff will let you know. For more experienced competitive swimmers, please ask about our year-round SOLO swim program.
