Once a Shark, Always a Shark!

For more than six decades, the Sarasota Sharks have built a legacy of champions—in and out of the pool. As we continue celebrating 65 years, we honor the athletes, parents, and volunteers—past and present—whose dedication has shaped our remarkable story. By becoming a Shark Partner, you will help carry this legacy forward, keeping dreams alive and creating opportunities for future generations of Sharks.

Sponsors will have the opportunity to choose between two personalized banner options:

• A Current Member Banner highlighting their ongoing connection to the team.
• An Alumni Banner recognizing the year they became active members of the Sarasota Sharks.

Each option celebrates the individuals and families who have helped shape the Sharks’ legacy, both past and present.

Your support sustains:

• A proud tradition of excellence – Over 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.
