Summer Swim Team - Competitive & Developmental Programs

The Sharks Summer Swim Team is made up of the Competitive Team that swims in meets on Saturdays (Ages 6-18) and the Developmental Team (Ages 5-9) that is geared toward beginner swimmers that will swim in mini meets during the summer. All Developmental and Competitive swimmers MUST be able to swim unassisted throughout practice. Developmental Team swimmers may graduate to the Competitive Team if their times and strokes improve during the summer. To determine what team to register your swimmer for, please use the following information:

• If your swimmer is age 10-18, register them for the Sharks Competitive Team.
• If your child is a 9&Under swimmer that is new to swimming or new to the team, please register for the Developmental Team and your child will be assessed in May to determine if they qualify for the Competitive Team. More information will be sent out on assessments.
• If your 9&Under swimmer was previously on the Developmental Team, please register them for the Developmental Team and they will be assessed in May to determine if they now qualify for the Competitive Team. More information will be sent out on assessments.
• If your 9&Under swimmer qualified for or has been on the Competitive Team previously, please register your swimmer for the Competitive Team.
• If you are unsure which team to pick for your 9&Under swimmer, please register them for the Developmental Team and your 9&Under swimmer will be assessed in May to determine team placement.

Swimmers must be Age 5 by June 1st to register and must be no older than 18 as of June 1st to register.

Off Season Clinics

During the Fall, Winter and Spring, the Sharks hold swim clinics on Saturdays and Sundays at the Waverly Club Indoor Pool. Swimmers attend either Saturday or Sunday for a total of 8 sessions. Swimmers must be between 6 and 18 years of age. The intent of the Clinic Program is to teach a love of competitive swim while working on stroke development and enhancing swimmers’ skills for the Summer Sharks Swim Team. Swimmers are placed into the following groups based on ability. 

• Minnows: Ages 6 through 11 - This group is designed for developmental swimmers who can comfortably swim the length of the pool unassisted but have not swam competitively and have not mastered the basics of freestyle and backstroke. The focus will be on stroke development and refinement. Practices are 45 minutes.
• Sharks 2: Ages 10&Under - This group is for swimmers ages 10 and under that have swam competitively, are familiar/comfortable swimming freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly and are looking to enhance their skill level and technique. Practices are 60 minutes.
• Sharks 1: Ages 11&Up - This group is for swimmers age 11 and up that have swam competitively, are familiar/comfortable swimming freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly and are looking to enhance their skill level and technique. Practices are 60 minutes
