New Swimmer Evaluations and Swim Gear
If your swimmer is new to the Shearwater Sharks, please plan to bring your swimmer to one of the two new swimmer evaluations. These will be held on Saturday April 13th and Saturday April 20th from 2-4pm at the Shearwater Lap pool. You only need to attend one of these. Coaches will evaluate to ensure that your swimmer can complete the minimum requirement of swimming the length of the pool unassisted. Coaches will also evaluate swimmers for placement in appropriate practice groups. No need to sign up, just pick one of the two Saturday's and show up anytime between 2-4pm.
Also, please head over to Williams Athletics to get fitted and place an order for your custom team swim suit. We STRONGLY recommend visiting the store to get fitted prior to ordering since the suits are custom-made and Williams will NOT allow any refunds or exchanges.
