It feels like just yesterday they were the youngest ones on deck, learning the ropes and finding their stride. Now they’re heading into high school as strong, confident, and accomplished young athletes.

Yesterday we celebrated this incredible group with a quick photo shoot to mark the end of one chapter and the start of the next.

Congratulations, Class of 2026

Today, our swimmers traded the pool deck for the pavement to help support the YMCA’s annual Send a Kid to Camp fundraiser. Every push, every cheer, and every donation helps give local kids the opportunity to experience the fun, friendship, and memories that camp creates.

We’re proud to be part of a community that shows up, works hard, and gives back.

If you’ve ever wondered how far Sharks will go to help others… apparently, it’s far enough to push a bus. 😎
