Welcome to the home of the Rockshire Sharks! We are a not-for-profit community swim team whose primary goal is to provide children (ages 4 - 18) the opportunity to improve their stroke skills and compete in weekly swim meets while having FUN. We pride ourselves on our top-notch, professional coaching staff and our amazing network of family volunteers. Summer swim team is a place where lifetime friendships form and grow – both children and families alike! We practice 4x / week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays) and participate in 2 meets / week (Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings). The Rockshire Sharks offer the following: Swim Team: Recommended for all children who can swim one length of the pool in any stroke. Practices start the Tuesday after Memorial Day and the season concludes at the end of July. Once school is out, both AM and PM practices are available for added flexibility. All registered swimmers are eligible to compete in our Rockville / Potomac League "B" meets on Wednesday evenings. The more advanced swimmers also compete on Saturday mornings in Montgomery County Swim League’s “A” meets. For 2022, we are seeded in the “F” Division. This year there may be capacity constraints for certain events; see Covid related waivers under the 'Documents' tab for more information. Pre-Team: Recommended for children between the ages of 4 - 8 who are comfortable in the water without a parent. The program is designed to introduce younger children to stroke / kicking basics and water safety with an end goal of preparing them for the swim team. To that, children who progress to a point where they are able to swim one length of the pool will be invited to participate in "B" meets for the remainder of the summer. We are planning for one session, starting on June 20th this summer where you can choose either 5:30-6pm or 6-6:30pm. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with any questions. Thanks and see you this summer, Kat and Patrick Hussmann, A Reps
