PURSUING EXCELLENCE ONE STROKE AT A
TIME
Program Design and
Philosophy
The Carson Tigersharks is a competitive
swimming team serving all levels of the sport. We offer a variety
of programs from the beginning of the sport through the
National/International level including a masters (adult) fitness
and competitive program.
The foundation of the Carson Tigersharks
program is a belief that swimmers should progress at a natural rate
with a measured and consistent development of skills. Swimming is a
lifelong activity and everyone can
be successful while learning the difficult movements
required. The Tigersharks recognize that everyone learns,
grows, and matures at varying rates, and it is important
that our program provides a quality teaching and training
environment that builds confidence within each
individual.
