The Somerset Hills Swim Club (SHSC) swim team program is committed to developing each swimmer to his or her greatest potential through positive experiences at team practices, swim meets, and team social events. Swimmers practice and work together in an atmosphere that builds self-confidence, promotes positive team spirit, teach and improves stroke performance and builds endurance. Joining a summer swim team is a great way to learn about the sport, make lifelong memories, and HAVE FUN!
The SHSC swim team is part of the New Jersey Swimming and Diving Conference. The Conference is divided into three leagues: A, B, and C. Thanks to the past several years of great swimming, we are in the A League.
What are the requirements for joining the team?
Through the season, swim team members will compete in the following four strokes:
- Freestyle
- Backstroke
- Butterfly
- Breaststroke
It is NOT a requirement to perform all four strokes to join the team.
The age of the swimmer as of June 30th will determine his/her age for participation. Swimmers ages 5 to 18 are eligible.
Swimmers will be divided into practice groups based on age and ability.
