The Garden Hills Cool Sharks Swim Team has a tradition of making swimming fun while also improving speed and skills. Instead of competitive tryouts, coaches evaluate all new swimmers to the team. The purpose of the evaluation is to ensure the safety of all swimmers and to enable the coaches to coach and not provide swim lessons during practice. All new swimmers must be evaluated before they swim in a meet. Evaluations will be Monday, May 12 and Tuesday, May 13. Practices will begin on Wednesday, May 14, during your scheduled age group practice time detailed on the 2008 calendar. Returning swimmers need not be evaluated.
