Eldwick Sharks Swim Team Welcomes Joe Flaherty as Head Coach & Callie Krakower as the Assistant Coach!
Swimming with the Sharks is Fun! Eldwick's Swim Team, the Sharks, is open to swimmers ages 3 to 18 years old who are interested in the challenges, rewards and fun of team building, leadership training, and summer competitive swimming. All swimmers receive excellent coaching and the opportunity to participate in organized age-group swim meets. Practice sessions, generally between 3:30-7:00, are divided by both age and swimming ability. Morning practice will also be likely based on interest and need. In addition to swim practices and meets, we are a team that likes to have fun throughout the summer with special events.
There are several ways to swim with the Sharks:
• Competitive Swim Team (called the A-Team): for our experienced swimmers. We have practices available five days a week, both morning and afternoon. Our competitive swim team competes in “A” and “B” meets. “A” meets are held on Saturday mornings and “B” meets are held on Wednesday evenings. Ribbons are awarded at both meets. Our kids have great spirit, enthusiasm, and lots of fun at the meets while trying to get personal best times.
• Intermediate Team: for those who have little experience swimming but can swim the length of the pool without assistance. These swimmers work on improving stroke technique, endurance while practicing 5 times per week. Swimmers on the intermediate team may choose to swim in “B” meets, or no meets at all.
• Pre Team: for our swimmers who can float and swim a few yards. This team is an introduction to the swim team with practices 5 times a week. Children must be willing to enter the water without their parents, and will be instructed in the basics of stroke and kicking. And, they might even participate in a kickboard race at a “B” Meet !!
For those children whose abilities don’t place them on the Pre team or for those children looking for additional one-on-one instruction, our coaches will be offering private lessons at reasonable rates.
