“Swim team is like attending a daily community event,” said Roxanne Robinson, mother of three Sharks swimmers. “It is run by a fabulous coach who excels at inspiring children of all abilities. The Sharks are not just a swim team, they are a community family.”

Whether swimming for fun or swimming competitively, each child will earn awards, make new friends and experience the excitement of swim meets. Daily weekday practices are held May through June, after school and during the summer. If your child can swim the length of a 25 yard pool, they can be an Alpharetta Shark.
