There will be multiple opportunities for athletes to join the Sandpoint Sharks for their upcoming season. Tryouts will be held Dec. 12-15 and Dec. 19-22, all starting at 4 p.m.
“We are excited to have this opportunity to expand our awesome team,” head coach Sara Zwink said. “We have room for swimmers at every level, from novice to advanced.”
The Sandpoint Sharks are a year-round, competitive swim team that offers athletes ages 5–18 the opportunity to work with trained coaches to improve swimming skills and endurance while competing at the local and national levels.
Swimmers should come to the tryout ready to demonstrate their abilities in the pool. Athletes must be able to swim 25 meters of freestyle and 25 meters of backstroke to make it onto the team.
“If you love being in the water, please join the fun,” Zwink said. “It’s a great team and we have a lot of fun in and out of the pool!”
Practices will begin Jan. 2 and will be held at the YMCA on Pine Street. Practice schedules depend on the level of the athlete.
