Swim Team Registration is Open!
Fins Up!
We are thrilled to announce Registration is OPEN for the 2023 Swim Season!
The Shearwater Sharks are part of the St Johns Summer Swim League (SJSSL). The league promotes good sportsmanship, swimming excellence, and positive self-esteem in all swimmers with an emphasis on individual progress, healthy living, team unity and family participation. The league welcomes all levels of swimmers, from novice to year-round level.
Any Shearwater resident between the ages of 4-18 year old, is invited to join the Sharks. Swimmers are expected to swim at least one length of the lap pool unassisted. New swimmer evaluations will be held on Saturday, April 15th, between 8-10:30am.
Practice will commence on Wednesday, April 19th. As in past seasons, the coaches will be breaking swimmers up into 3 practice groups. These groups may be adjusted due to the number of swimmers that register or as coaches feel a swimmer would benefit from working with a different group.
Practices will be offered 4 days a week in the Shearwater Lap Pool. In response to parents’ requests, we will have 2 morning practices and 2 evening practices each week once school is out. As your schedule allows, swimmers are encouraged to attend up to 4 practice sessions a week. We understand the summer is a busy and fun time for many families, and thus there is no minimum practice requirement.
