KAC Tiger Sharks

FYI:

The Kingsport Aquatic Center is temporarily closed for infrastructure upgrades and guest improvements – a project aimed to secure the long-term future success of the facility.

All pools will be closed during this shutdown, except for the Outdoor Lap Pool. Locker rooms will not be available during the shutdown.

The Outdoor Lap Pool will be open 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday for lap swim and personal exercise during the shutdown (except September 14). This schedule is subject to change and will be reevaluated weekly.

*Please note: Tiger Sharks will be returning after Kingsport Aquatic Center reopens. Thank you for your patience!

The KAC Tiger Sharks Swim Team is a developmental, non-competitive swim team focused towards individuals 3 years old to 18 years of age. This program provides the opportunity for swimmers to improve stroke technique and build endurance in a fun group environment. Swimmers looking to participate must be able to comfortably swim 25 yards freestyle unassisted.

This team has three experienced coaches who are dedicated to helping your children grow their swimming abilities.

Just like the Jr. Viperfish Summer League, we are flexible here and you can come to as many practices as you wish or as little. Coaches recommend coming to as many as possible to work on stroke performance and fitness.

If you are looking for individual fitness, joining a middle school or high school swim team, or just looking for a fun group workout for your children, this is a great opportunity for them.

If you are interested in signing your child up for the team please contact Jessie Charlton at JessieCharlton@KingsportTN.gov for a swim evaluation so your child can be placed in the correct group. If you participated over the summer you will stay in the same group as the summer league.
