Summer League
The Tiburon Sharks Swim Team is an excellent way to introduce younger swimmers to the world of competitive swimming. The swim team is open to members ONLY. Interested swimmers are encouraged to come check out a practice to see for themselves.
Anyone who is a member of Tiburon Pool and 6-18 years of age is welcome to join the swim team. Races for swimmers 10 & under are one length of the pool; races for swimmers 11 & older are two lengths of the pool. Anyone wishing to join should be able to handle swimming these lengths without struggling and have understanding of the four strokes - - freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly. A good rule of thumb is that the swimmer should have completed Level 4 swim lessons.

Volunteering
Because swim meets are staffed by volunteers, parents are needed to work at two swim meets. Tasks include working the ready area, timers, and runners. You can schedule your volunteer times at the parent meeting in June.
Final Meet
The season concludes with a city-wide meet that occurs mid-July.
