The Shirley Penguins swim team is a Youth Venture that allows kids a creative outlet during the summer. It provides an affordable program for swimmers to take part in during the summer. When It started in '07 with around 35 swimmers, its goal was to get kids into the water and swimming. Now, the Penguins have had over 230 swimmers pass through its program. Just last year we helped found a new swim league that's more local, called the Minute Men Summer Swim League. This new league gives more options for kids to swim closer to home and compete at a comfortable, but challenging level. Our Penguins have competed in summer competitions and just last year took home the 2nd place trophy for our league. This year our goal is to win first place at the summer championship.
