Sun Valley SHARKS Swim Team
Swim Team
We encourage all children (ages 5-16) to join the Sun Valley Sharks swim team. It is an excellent way to strengthen swimming skills, is a great form of exercise and a wonderful team sport. Sun Valley continues to be part of our area summer swim league, which includes: Lexington Town Pool, Paint Rock, Winchester Boat Club, Winchester Swim & Tennis and Winchester Country Club.
We recognize summer is busy with camps and travel and we welcome all swimmers to participate as they are able. You do not have to attend all practices or meets. It is a fun, no pressure environment. Please join us!

Team Suit
We ask each swim team participant to purchase an ALL BLACK swimsuit to wear during meets so the team has a uniform look.

As a convenience black Speedo suits are available at a discounted price via this online team store.
