Shrewsbury – Summer is nearly here and the Shrewsbury Health and Racquet Club (SHARC) has been busy organizing a full repertoire of events for the months ahead.

Kids will enjoy swimming in the indoor and outdoor pools, swim lessons, tennis lessons and sports conditioning and personal training. Other special events include the popular Cannonball contest, a Poolside Scavenger Hunt and Princess and Pirate Day.
