The Sandhills Sandsharks Swim Team is hosting the 23nd Annual North Carolina Open Water Swimming Championship on May 31 & June 1, at Lake Echo in Seven Lakes.  This event will feature Age Group and Open- level races, drawing an expected 700+ participants (plus their families, bringing approximately 1,500+ visitors to Moore County). This event is one of the largest amateur sporting events in Moore County.  The Military Mile event targets our local Tri-athletes, Master’s swimmers, and recreational swimmers of all ages—and benefits Moore County’s military children, through donations to the Student to Student program.  The Poseidon race (the 5K, 3K, and 2K) challenges our most elite swimmers.

Sandhills Sandsharks is a non-profit (501c) organization started 36 years ago. Dedicated to development of swimmers of all ages and abilities—and expanding aquatics programming in the Sandhills--the Sandsharks have proudly produced numerous State Champions, High School and Collegiate All-Americans and Scholastic-Swimming All-Americans. Additionally, we support Special Olympics swimmers and the Boys & Girls Club, both through programming opportunities.  We are the only Make A Splash! Learn to Swim program provider in the Sandhills.  Make A Splash provides free lessons to under-served and at risk populations, including children in the neighborhood bordering our pool.

Your participation as a sponsor ensures that we can continue providing an excellent swimming program to our community. Your leadership and support for USA Swimming in our area is greatly appreciated!
