The Kingsmill Sharks are a family run, recreational and developmental swim program for kids age 5-18.  Young children are encouraged to join the team as soon as they are self-sufficient in the pool.  We have a diligent and experienced coaching staff that works with the younger swimmers to develop in the four basic strokes. 

Our most common question is…Is my child ready for the Swim Team?  In general most 5 year old children are not ready for the team if they have not spent time working with their parents or participated in some sort of swim class.  We typically like to have children enter the Shark Program when they can swim approximately ½  of the length of the pool on their own.  If they are not able to accomplish this, the child MUST be able to start swimming and know that they can grab the rope or wall without assistance from the coach.   The team is not designed to teach children to swim who have never spent time swimming in a pool before.

Most all children in the 7 year old range, with limited swimming experience are encouraged to join the team.  

Meets are held exclusively during the summer months and we end the year with an awards banquet where all swimmers are rewarded for their effort.

We hope to see you and your family at the pool this year.
