Sharks Form a Star, 1949-50

Sharks_Form_a_Star_194950.jpg

In the picture above is of the members of the Shark Club, who worked out a star formation in preparation for the Shark's Review. The Shark Club required more than average skill of its members. The crawl, side, back, and breast stokes were tested and if a girl could perform these basic strokes with a minimum of splash and a maximum of grace she was eligible to swim with the rest of the Sharks. In March, a review was given to show their accomplishments in the field of rhythm and formation swimming. The Sharks were sponsored by W.A.A. Their uniform included a one piece swimsuit. The administrative head at the time was Kathleen Lowrie.
