New York Sharks Training Trip History
 

 

"Take pride in how far you have come. Have faith in how far you can go."  

 

During every short course season, the New York Sharks offer a training trip at the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida during winter break. During this week, the Sharks complete the peak of our seasonal volume with double sessions in two long course meter pools (50 meters). Many swimmers travel down with their families. Oftentimes, our swim parents as well as younger swimmers in Bronze, Silver and Gold combine the trip to Fort Lauderdale as a family vacation. While the swimmers practice, the families enjoy the area’s attractions and still have the opportunity to spend time with their swimmers.
 
The New York Sharks have been traveling to Fort Lauderdale and the International Hall of Fame to train since the 2003-2004 season. Since then, the trip has grown and become tremendously popular among swimmers in our more competitive groups. Many of our alumni and current swimmers attest that the training they do during this trip directly affects their performances at the Championship meets in February and March!
