The Sharks Swim Program A highlight of pool activity each year is when the Balcones and Spicewood pools become infested with Sharks. The Sharks children's swim team, that is. The Sharks program offers social and athletic opportunities for Club children ages 5 to 17 to compete against the twelve other Northwest Swim Circuit teams. The program emphasizes good sportsmanship, teamwork and a healthy competitive environment. The children are taught the four competitive swimming strokes along with proper racing starts and turns. Shark practices begin on May 1 (afternoon practices after school), and switch to morning practices after school is out. Weekly Saturday morning meets are held during June and early July. The season culminates in a grand finale swim meet with all the teams vying for trophies and team honors.  For more information call 512.820.5203 or 512.921.9893 www.bccsharks.org   Private Swim Instruction The lifeguards and swim team coaches offer swimming lessons for all ages and abilities.  Members are offered one-on-one instruction or group lessons, and in most cases lesson times can be worked to fit your schedule. Lessons accommodate all levels of experience from the non-swimmer to someone looking for stroke technique improvement. The instructors ask that children be at least four years old to take lessons and also encourage teens and adults to take advantage of lesson availability. It's never too late to learn to swim well!
