The Elmwood Sharks Swim Team is a year-round competitive swim team offering high quality professional coaching and technique instruction for all ability levels from beginner to advanced. The team utilizes the elite facilities and pools at Ochsner Fitness Center. The goal of our team is to provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice to nationally competitive. The training sessions are designed to give athletes the strength, endurance, and tools necessary to compete at the highest level. Elmwood Sharks are divided into groups depending on the swimmer’s individual commitment level and current level of development.
