Club Awards
Each August our club holds an Annual General Meeting(AGM), Awards Night, Dinner and Dance. We look forward to recognizing the achievements of all our swimmers.
Star Performer Certificate
Each swimmer in the club receives a personalized certificate which lists all the swim meets they have attended, their results and the number of " I Beat My Time" results that they achieved over the season.
Dave Mitchell Award
"Most improved swimmer"
Dave Mitchell was an active parent volunteer with the Sharks in the late 1980s and early 1990s. When he died of a heart attack in the mid 1990s, this award was named in his honor. This award goes to the swimmer who has achieved the most " I beat My Time" results over the regular summer swim season.
Julia Cantafio Award
"Rookie of the Year"
The strength of our club lies in attracting new families to the sport of summer swimming. Amongst our new swimmers each year there is always one who exhibits a particular level of enthusiasm, commitment and perseverance. This "Rookie of the Year" award was initiated to honor Julia Cantafio, who at the age of 6 in her first year as a Shark, was killed in a tragic car accident following a St. Albert swim meet.
Janice Cantafio Award

Janice Cantafio, mother of Julia, was killed in the same accident as her daughter. Janice was a hard-working volunteer with both the Sharks and the Town of Stony Plain.

This award is given annually to a Sharks swimmer who exhibits qualities of sportsmanship, leadership, and team dedication during practices and swim meets.
