About Our Club
Shorewood Swim Club, or SHOR for short, is a place for all swimmers at all levels, with varied goals. Throughout the year, we’ll recognize performance by highlighting swimmers who have achieved state cuts – and for a few, Nationals cuts. Also, throughout the year, we share best times achieved after each meet (personal achievement) and Swimmers of the Month (all-around greatness in practice) in our newsletter and in practice. There are many ways swimmers achieve big things, and we hope to highlight that in these different ways of recognizing our great swimmers in this club.
SHOR is a competitive swim club of 175+ swimmers from Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, Glendale, Bayside, Milwaukee, and many other surrounding communities. We have a professional, certified staff who have coached swimmers of all ages and abilities, and nine groups serving swimmers from Novice to National competitors.
