Home of the Sharks !
The Bedford Sharks Swim Team is your neighborhood summer swim team - and a proud Bedford Tradition since 2005! Our mission is to provide a fun, positive, and engaging summer swim program where young athletes build competitive swimming skills, develop strong team spirt, and proudly represent the Bedford at Falls River community.
Each season between 150-200 swimmers ages 5 -18 join the Sharks for our 9 week summer swim season Mid-May to Mid-July. We offer weekday morning and evening practices, along with six Tuesday night swim meets (three home and three away). Beyond the pool, swimmers and families enjoy a team kick-off party to meet our Coaches and Sponsors, the TSA Championship Meet, and our always popular End-of-Season Pool Party Banquet.
Our fantastic coaching staff is made up of former and current Bedford Sharks - young adults who know firsthand what is means to be a Shark and love giving back to the team.
The Bedford Sharks are proud members of the Tarheel Swimming Association (TSA), North Carolina’s largest summer recreational youth swim league, with 80+ teams and 11,000+ swimmers across the Raleigh/Wake County area. Teams are grouped into divisions based on prior-season rankings to ensure fun and competitive meets all summer long.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, open exclusively to Bedford residents.
We can’t wait for another incredible season and welcome all new and returning swimmers to the Shark Tank! GO SHARKS!
