Welcome to summer swimming at Dominion Valley!

The mission of the Dominion Valley Shark Swim Team is to help every participating swimmer enjoy the summer while becoming a confident and ever-improving athlete. The team provides a positive nurturing environment in hopes that each child will develop into an accomplished life-long swimmer. Swimmers will learn and improve on skills, with the intent of pursuing their personal best. Swimmers will apply athletic disciplines as they compete with community peers and learn the value of teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Philosophy and Goals

The purpose of the summer swim league is to use competition as a means of learning the lifelong values of goal setting and discipline for success. Swimmers will improve their skills, teamwork ability, sportsmanship and respect for self and others within a competitive atmosphere led by capable coaches. The Dominion Val ley Shark Swim Team relies upon parent volunteers to work wi th paid coaches to create a quality program for all participants.

Competitive swimming is one of the most effective sports for physical development. The sport is unique in nature in that it offers four different strokes for each child, a variety of distances and an individual time for each combination or event. This encourages individual goal setting, focuses on personal improvement and creates many opportunities for success.
