Long Course Meet Schedule

We have started posting the Long Course Meet Schedule.  The schedule is tentative and some meets will be removed and others will be added as the season progresses.  It has become much harder to get into meets over the last few years due to the scarcity of 50 meter pools and the increase in the number of long course swimmers.  The website will be updated as soon as new information is available.

Spring/Summer Tryouts

Evaluations of all swimmers who are interested in joining the Sharks for the Spring/Summer season will be held on Thursday, April 10 at 4:00 at the Wyckoff YMCA. 

SharksBanquet - Updated
