BEGINNING YOUR COMPETITIVE SWIMMING JOURNEY WITH SHARK SWIMMING CLUB

Here at Shark, we are a competitive swimming club, and to join it is highly recommended that your swimmer has completed a cycle of swim lessons by progressing to the top level they can achieve in their learn to swim programme.

Swimmers must be 7years old, be confident in the water and be able to swim 50m (2 lengths of the pool) in both freestyle and backstroke.

Due to ongoing limited lane availability and scheduling constraints,  we can only offer assessments to new swimmers aged 11 and younger. Please email [email protected] if you have further queries.

If you are transferring from other club you can email [email protected] with your times.

We usually hold assessments at the beginning of each term: September, January and April. However this is dependent on availability.

At the assessment, your child will be asked to:

• Swim 50M Freestyle & Backstroke easily, with good stamina and technique.
• Good technique and ability with 25M Breaststroke.
• Familiarity with Butterfly

We hope to run our next trials around Easter 2025. Please keep an eye on our social media, this is where we post all our up to date info on trials.

Joining a compeitive swimming club means your child will enter the Swim Ireland gala system, where galas are carefully designed to nuture enjoyment and confidence with competiting in galas.
