THE TEAM

Founded in 2008 in the heart of Forest, Virginia, the Farmington Sharks are proud to be part of the Lynchburg Aquatic League — but even prouder of the friendships, laughter, and confidence built along the way.

We’re a fun, family-focused team that welcomes swimmers of all levels, ages 4–18. Whether it’s your child’s first dive off the blocks or their fifth season chasing a personal record, our goal is the same: to help every swimmer grow, have fun, and love being part of the Sharks family.

Our coaching staff blends energy and encouragement with strong instruction, creating an environment where kids learn, improve, and actually look forward to getting in the pool each day.

THE SEASON

Summer with the Sharks is fast-paced and full of excitement! Our season kicks off the last week of May and runs through July. We pack in the fun with weekday practices, Monday-night meets, team socials, spirit weeks, and end-of-season celebrations.

The Sharks are not just about competition, we’re about community, cheering each other on, and celebrating every milestone, big or small.

THE PRACTICE

Our practices are designed to build skills, confidence, and team spirit — all while having fun!

Each group focuses on improving technique, endurance, and sportsmanship — with plenty of smiles, high-fives, and Shark pride along the way!
