Welcome to Riverside Sharks Swimming Club
The Riverside Sharks Swimming Club was established in October, 2005 by parents, coaches and children interested in developing swimming skills and fully developing the individual’s natural talents.
The club coaches are English speaking from the Czech Republic. All coaches receive a Czech certification for the age or level of swimmers they coach. Many of the club coaches are swimmers themselves who are eager to share their enthusiasm for the sport.
We are an informal club that relies on mutual respect, understanding and open communications between coaches, swimmers and parents.
Club Targets:
- Developing a life skill that promotes healthy living!
- Emphasis upon stroke, stamina and skills development.
- Swimmers develop an increased awareness of the discipline and character needed for competitive swimming.
- As swimmers reach competitive age, they will have an opportunity to participate in a Prague based gala/competition if interested.
