Organized similar to

LONG BEACH TIGERSHARKS

With Previous Coaches

 

“When I was in 4th Grade in Lido School, 90% of my elementary class swam in the Tigersharks. We swam throughout the year, sometimes 4 times a week and other 2 times.  We took breaks from swimming because we played other sports, pursued opportunities, and surfed.  My parents had flexible options to keep me in the pool.” – Woody Skudin

We are proud to Introduce our Club Swim Team is now organized as the previous Long Beach Tigersharks.  This will provide parents with the flexibility needed to sustain swimming and water safety during your available times in the school year.

We will be hosting monthly Inter-Team Swim Meets similar to United States Swimming Association and High School Dual Meets in order to challenge our swimmers.  In addition, there will be optional Junior Lifeguarding events subsequently following the Swim Meets.

Our goal is to reach the children and teenagers who

  1. Need additional in-season & off-season swimming in support of current School Swim Team as they pursue competitive greatness
  2. Prioritize other sports and need to keep schedule open
  3. Prioritize other activities and be able to adjust schedule
  4. Need Casual Swim Practices in order to maintain technique and stamina for Junior Lifeguard and Lifeguard opportunities in the summer

The Long Beach Aquatics wrote, “We emphasize competition with oneself. Winning ribbons, medals, or trophies is not our main goal, the individual’s improvement is our primary objective.”  Our Club Swim Team will emphasis strong character producing young men and women of integrity.  Water Safety teaches responsibility as Swimmers become Lifeguards.
