Since the mid-1980s, we've been making waves at the Casey Swim Center at Washington College, starting with just 40 enthusiastic swimmers led by Dennis Berry. In the summer of 1989, Kim Lessard took the helm, and since then, we've been diving deeper into the joy of swimming and sharing that passion with even more people. Our squad includes enthusiastic swimmers aged 5 to 18—yes, some of our stars have started at just 5 years old and proudly finished their Sho'men journey as high school seniors. We even have alumni whose kids are now carrying on our cherished traditions!
With passionate coaches and a fantastic group of dedicated parent volunteers, our team is all about community and support. We dive into our winter season from November to mid-February and make a splash again in the summer from May to July.
In February, we celebrate the end of our winter season with a fun Swim-a-Thon, and in the summer, we host our biggest event, the Sho'men Invitational—a thrilling long-course meet. We swim fast, we swim strong, and we have a blast doing it! Join us as we continue to grow and spread the love for this wonderful sport!
