League Information

Sunrise Sharks Swim Team is a permenant member of the Northern California Swim League, one of the largest swim leagues in the area. For more information about the league visit the league website.

Starting this year, each swimmer is required to register with the league online at the NorCal Swim League's website. You will no longer need to complete the league registration paper form. New swimmers will still need to submit a copy of their birth certificate to the team's registrar. This online registration is in addition to Park District paperwork and is required before your child can participate in a swim meet. The League By-Laws tell more about the league organization and the rules that govern it.
