About Our Club

Chicago South Swim Club known as the Tiger Sharks.  The Tiger Sharks are committed to the concept that physical, mental, and spiritual growth, are crucial to the health and well being of our swimmers. Swimmers are taught to think, plan, and set high standards for achievement both academically and athletically. Our training is a systematic process, that teaches responsibility, sportsmanship, competition, respect, and self-control. We believe that the endurance, courage and perseverance that swimmers develop, will prepare them for the challenges that they will face in life.

The swim program is an age group program designed to recognize and encourage individual achievement from the beginner to the advanced competitive swimmer. In addition to physical and mental development, our program seeks to guide the swimmer in achieving his/her maximum potential in swimming. Each swimmer is allowed to progress at his/her own rate. Coaches assign swimmers to groups based on their skill level and each swimmer receives coaching/instruction commensurate with his/her needs. We believe our program possesses the necessary ingredients to develop Olympian quality swimmers.

Our club caters primarily to the African-American community, however we have had and we welcome membership from other ethnic groups. We have over one hundred swimmers that compete in local, ISI, and Junior Olympic swim meets.
