The Margate Sharks competitive swimming team has become one of the growing programs in the area. Since 2014, the team has grown steadily and has made its mark at different levels of swimming, such as Silver Champs and Junior Olympics.

The team competes in both Dual and USA Swimming meets during the season. USA participation is encouraged but is optional depending upon the level of the swimmer. The team is a registered USA club and participates in USA meets whenever possible.

The program begins practice in early September and runs through the end of January/Mid-February. Dual meets and Championships are swum during this time. Swimmers may extend their season into February/March by qualifying for the Bronze Champs, Silver Champs or Junior Olympics. During the winter, stroke clinics will be held on Fridays following practice from 5-6 pm. In the spring, additional programs are available for swimmers who want to focus on training for the next level of swimming.

Over the summer, the JCC also competes in a summer league with Dual meets offered on week day evenings – meets starting Mid-June thru the end of July.

The coaching staff will strive to provide the variety of experiences a developing swimmer needs to prepare him/her for competition. Education, motivation, determination, and team pride are some of the cornerstones on which the Sharks have built their early success. We expect our swimmers to make a commitment to helping the team by developing a good work ethic and making a positive contribution in a manner consistent with the philosophies of the JCC.
