Welcome to the Norfolk Hammerheads!
We would like to welcome all new and returning age group swimmers and their parents to the Norfolk Hammerheads Aquatic Club. We are excited to see the progress in our swimmers and are anxious to see their performance in upcoming swim meets. It takes time to build skills. We encourage swimmers and parents to be patient.

Important information about Swim Meets
We encourage our swimmers to attend as many of the meets recommended for their group as they can. It is at these meets that the swimmers really learn to race, see the progress they are making, build friendships and promote team spirit.
Signing up
Signing up for swim meets is always done on the Hammerheads website by going to the Team Events tab. If you need assitance, we would be happy to help you with this.
Aqua 7 Meets
The Aqua 7 meets provide an excellent opportunity to introduce our athletes into the world of competitive swimming. This offers a smaller environment for our first-time competitors. Swimmers are limited to 3 individual events and possibly 1 relay. A final Aqua 7 Championship meet, with all participating teams competing, will be held in the spring. In order to attend the championship meet, swimmers must have attended 3 of the 4 scheduled Aqua 7 meets.
A typical Aqua 7 meet would run as follows:
8:00 a.m. warm-up
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 swim meet
Typically there is a $30 per swimmer at Aqua 7 meets. It’s a great opportunity to meet other NHAC parents and become an active member of the team. Thank you in advance for helping out.
Other Meets
Please note that swim meets other than the Aqua 7 require payment for each individual event your child swims.
There may be a small entry fee for Aqua 7 Meets.
The cost varies slightly from one meet to another but is usually $15.00 per event.
We will release a tentative meet schedule when information becomes available.
