Benicia Stingrays

Hi Team,

 

We are at that point in the season where there will be a lot of updates.  Please read all of the NewsSplashes to stay in the know!

Last Chance Meets

There are two optional meets that we wanted you to know about.  They are "Last Chance" Meets. These two meets are a chance for your swimmer to try to drop time in their events (typically for kids trying to get a County Qualifying Time that they have yet to achieve, but really for any swimmer that just wants one more meet to compete and drop time).  The Coaches and Team do not provide support for these meets. If you sign up your swimmer, you are responsible for dealing with the meet logistics, registering your swimmer, emailing your questions directly to the meet directors, warming up your swimmer, etc on your own.
