65 Years of Sharks, Family, and Community

Celebrating 65 Years of Building Champions – And Supporting the Future of the Sarasota Sharks

For more than six decades, the Sarasota Sharks have been developing champions in and out of the pool. As we mark our 65th Anniversary, we invite you to join us as a Shark Partner—helping to keep dreams alive and ensure the future of this legacy.

Your support sustains:

• A proud tradition of excellence – 65 years of swimmers who embody discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship.
• Generations of champions – from local swimmers to Olympians, shaped by the Sarasota Sharks community since 1961.
• A self-sustaining nonprofit (501c3) – fiscally responsible for the operations and maintenance of the Selby Aquatics Center.
• A world-class home for swimming – hosting premier meets and events that welcome over 2,000 competitive athletes ages 6 to 90 each year.
• A lifelong love of the sport – fostering an environment where swimmers of every age and level can thrive every day.

Together, we can honor 65 years of achievement while investing in the future champions still to come.
