About the Team
The Russett SHARKS Swim team is one of more than 40 teams that compete in the Prince-Mont Swim League. Participant registration takes place each spring and is open to any Russett resident between the ages of 5 and 18 with a valid community pool pass.
Though helpful, experience is not necessary. Our intention is to help each participant develop aquatic skills, the principles of good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Put simply, every swimmer is encouraged to do their best, improve their abilities and have fun.
Practice begins immediately after Memorial Day and takes place at the pool (weather permitting) Mondays through Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. for swimmers age 8 and under, and from 6:45p.m. - 7:45 p.m. for the rest of the team. The team participates in 5 competitive dual-meets and other recreational swim meets in the months of June and July. Qualifying swimmers also compete in three additional meets traditionally held in July.
