Sharks Swim Team

The Sharks Swim Team is a summer cabana team composed of Silver Creek Valley Country Club members who come together to represent the team in the Valley Cabana Swim League. 

The Sharks race against 5 other teams in the league including the annual Champs meet in July.  Each cabana team is capped at 150 swimmers on the roster per season.  Unlike other swimming leagues, the Valley Cabana league has a unique scoring system and bylaws that award teams for not only objective place points, but also for improvement points for each swim. 

Cabana swimming is a fun, short season that provides children an opportunity to experience competitive swimming in a low stress environment. We encourage members to inquire about this part of the membership experience.
