About
Nothing is more exciting on a summer night than a Sherwood swim meet. Sherwood Sharks are rich in tradition, sportsmanship, winning, and fun!
Sherwood is a member of the Greater Forsyth Swim League (GSFL), whose mission is to encourage swimmers of all abilities and encourage good sportsmanship. The team is comprised of boys and girls, ranging in age from 4 and under to 18 years of age. Swimmers receive age appropriate instruction in all four strokes.
Practice typically begins in mid-May. The season runs through mid-July, consisting of six dual meets and concluding with league championships. Sherwood also competes in the Winston-Salem City Meet.
Sherwood Pool opened in 1967 and in 1972, it was decided that forming a swim team would provide additional benefit to the member families. Sherwood partnered with several other pools in the area to form Greater Forsyth Swim League. While the league started as a swim and dive league, it has evolved into a group of very competitive youth summer league swim teams. Diving competitions in the league ended in the 1980’s
Sherwood has been at the top of this league for the past 20 years winning almost all Championship Meets as well as the City Meet for many years.
Sherwood is a 6 lane 25 meter competition pool.
