The North Charleston Sharks
The City of North Charleston Swim Club is a USA Swimming affiliated year-round team, owned and operated by the City of North Charleston Recreation Department. The Sharks train and compete in South Carolina's premier swimming facility, the North Charleston Aquatic Center as well as in a second ten-lane facility in the Park Circle area. The team has grown quickly in its first three years to over 150 athletes and has already produced three state champions and three USA Swimming Futures Championships qualifiers.
The Sharks team is highly competitive, and its staff works to help swimmers ages seven through eighteen achieve their highest potential in the sport. Athletes experience competition daily in a safe and positive environment; they form close bonds as they grow alongside their teammates; and they learn about attention to detail, effort, and commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Sharks are a year-round USA Swimming club. We are almost always in the pool. Short course season runs from September through March, and long course runs April through July.
We swim in about one meet per month starting in October. With the exception of some championship meets, most of the meets are at our aquatic center. Athletes in our sharks program are expected to compete. Athletes in our non-competitive minnows program are not.
Athletes are placed in groups according to age, ability, and swimming goals. Goals are more than statements about rankings and times; they are statements about commitment. Talk to your coach about whether your goals and your commitment to practice match. For athletes with year-round swimming goals, there is no substitute for consistently attending Sharks practice throughout the year.
