About Our Swim Team

The Klahanie Swim Team is a member of the 26-team, Midlakes Summer Swim League. We seek to provide a competitive swimming environment for a young swimmer that is fun and relaxed. All home meets are held at the Mountain View Pool.

Klahanie Swim Team offers swimmers between 5 and 18 years of age a fun way to get great exercise while swimming with others of the same age. The Klahanie Swim Team promotes team building skills, friendliness, and sportsmanlike conduct among teammates and opponents. Practices are held daily from mid-May through July.

Shark membership is open to Klahanie residents. Non-members can also join the Sharks subject to available openings. The Klahanie Homeowners Association is equipped with two, four lane, 25-meter competition pools.

The Klahanie Swim Team is governed by a five member Board of Directors:

President: Diana Eggers
Vice President: Kelly Terry
Secretary: Shari Einfelt
Treasurer: Al Forney
At Large: Susan Simpkins

How Midlakes Swim League Got Started

In the late 1930's, various public beaches in the Seattle area first began competitive swimming on a recreational level. Most of these competitions were restricted to "males only", but the fairer sex was allowed to compete in sidestroke races. The first trace of the Midlakes Swim League occurred in 1954, when the Mercer Island Beach Club entered the King County Beach League. The annual championships were held at Pete's Pool (more like a small lake than a pool) in Enumclaw. Things changed rapidly in the 1950's as Eastside communities began to grow and build pools.

After two years in the Seattle Summer Swim League, the Eastside teams (including Samena, Phantom Lake, Newport Hills, Mercerwood Shore Club, Mercer Island Beach Club, Edgebrook, Triangle and Norwood) formed the Midlakes Swim League. In the years that followed the League continued to grow and by 2000 the League consisted of 26 teams representing neighborhoods throughout the Eastside.
