Sharks Developmental Competitive Program

Swimmers in the developmental program will further develop their technique in the four strokes (freestyle, breaststroke, fly and back stroke) as well as work on their endurance and general physical fitness.  

The developmental program is also where swimmers are transitioned into competitive swimming.  Swimmers at this level are expected to give a maximum level of commitment.

Please see the registration section of the website for practice times and cost.
