The Somerset Rec Club Swim Team is a family-based swim team committed to providing a well-rounded swim experience balancing community, sportsmanship, and overall enjoyment with high quality instruction, individual skill development, a positive and competitive team environment.

The coaches strive to help swimmers enhance all four competitive strokes, improve racing techniques, build self-confidence, become good team members, and learn that winning and succeeding are not always the same thing. The Somerset Swim Team hopes to provide motivation, instruction, fun times, and support for all team members.

Our swim team is comprised of two teams: 

1. Somerset Stingrays (competition team typically ages 6-18). 
2. Somerset Sharkies (pre-competition team typically ages 5-8).

These are typically scheduled in March/April each year, prior to the season beginning. All Sharkies from the previous year will be invited to try out for the Stingrays team the following year. Please contact swimteam@somersetrec.org if interested in a tryout.
