Our Quantico Connection
The
Sharks are proud to be affiliated with Marine Corps Base Quantico,
and appreciate all the support they have given our organization
over the past fifteen years. As the Sharks have grown in popularity
and enrollment, we have expanded to two short-course season
practice sites in order to accommodate all our
swimmers.
We continue to practice at Ramer
Hall, located at TBS on Quantico, just off Route 610 in North
Stafford and also practice at the Woodlands Pool, which is also
located just off 610. Ramer Hall is an indoor 25 meter
facility, and Woodlands is a bubbled, 25 yard facility. Most
programs practice in both facilities during a given week. After
school lets out for summer, we practice at both the All Hands Pool
located on Quantico and at Curtis Park pool in the Hartwood area of
Stafford County. Both of these pools are 50 meter outdoor pools,
but we sometimes swim "short-course" at the All Hands
Pool.
The Sharks are privileged to
have access to the Marine facilities for many reasons. The most
obvious reason is the availability of a backup pool when
Woodlands bubble is being taken down and put up. A perhaps
less-obvious reason is the daily exposure our swimmers get to the
integrity, leadership and values exhibited by the Marines training
on the base. This exposure aids us in our mission of
"Training
Champions in the Pool S Building
Champions for Life"
Lastly, a very special thank you goes out to the
Single Marine Program on Marine Corps Base Quantico. Last
year our team hosted Virginia Swimming’s statewide Age Group
Championship meet. A group of 14 Marines volunteered in excess of
125 hours to assist the Sharks in hosting this
meet:
Thank you to the United States
Marine Corps for developing these fine
young Americans. They made it
possible for 799 swimmers to compete in
Virginia Swimming’s Age
Group Championship this weekend.
Our children thank
you!

"Some people spend an entire lifetime
wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don’t have
that problem."
