Sharks Swim Club
The Bolles Sharks engage in a multi-level competition program with USA Swimming that, like our training program, attempts to provide challenging, yet success-oriented, competitive situations for swimmers of all ages and abilities. The Bolles Sharks is very proud of the team's accomplishments since its inception in 1977. In its 30 years of existence, Bolles Sharks has proven itself as the top team in the state of Florida by winning District, State, Southeastern, Regional and National competitions as well as setting National Age Group, Junior National, Senior National, International and World records. Bolles Sharks has developed individual and relay champions at every level of competitive swimming.
The Bolles Sharks view swimming as an important part of the overall development of a young boy or girl. Besides the most obvious benefit of physical conditioning, swimming fosters the personal discipline required to persevere, the confidence building of progress in competition, the social growth from travel, learning to accept winning and losing with equal grace, and the sense of values gained from competing as both an individual and a team member.
The Bolles Sharks program strives to instill in young swimmers an understanding of and appreciation for such concepts as high self-esteem, personal accountability, constructive self-motivation, and goal setting and goal achievement as their ideas relate to their success in training and in competition. It is our belief that the process of achieving is as significant as the achievement itself.
At each level of the Bolles Sharks program, swimmers are instructed to strive for excellence. Excellence in this sense represents each swimmer knowing that they have done their utmost to become the best they are capable of becoming. This philosophy is consistent throughout the program in every swimmer, novice through Olympian. We want every swimmer to swim to the best of their own ability and seek the opportunity to attain the level of excellence to which their desire and ability will move them. We believe swimmers and their parents alike should enjoy swimming and remember it as a positive experience.
