My child knows how to swim. What is the value of joining the Sharks? Why should they compete?
The Shark level is a great place to continue with stroke development as well as work on the elements of competition (starts, turns, and relays). It is also a good way to incorporate the atmosphere of a team without necessarily needing to compete. We are building skills that will help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Competing is an awesome motivator! If your child wants to be a better swimmer and is driven by challenge, the Shark level allows them to not only compete as an individual but as a team member as well.
