Otters Updates and Competitive Swim Lessons

Benicia Stingrays

Sorry for the plethora of emails lately.  As we get into the heart of the season, the emails will come frequently! 

 

Otters Updates

  • Relay Changes: Please review the Relay Changes to ensure you stay until the end of the meet if your swimmer is assigned to a relay.  
  • Snack Bar:  Come hungry for breakfast!  Here is their menu.

 

Competitive Swim Lessons

  • Now that summer is here, our junior coaches will offer one-on-one private lessons for our swimmers. 
  • The days will be Monday/Tuesday OR Wednesday/Thursday. 
  • Each two-day session will have a 25-minute lesson from 10:30-10:55 or 11:00-11:25 and cost $30 per 2-day session.   One additional swimmer can be added to a session for an extra $10.  
  • These lessons focus on a specific skill--dives, turns, stroke technique, etc.  They are not meant for lap swimming or gaining fitness.  When you sign up, please indicate in the "comments" what skill you want the junior coach to focus on.  This is flexible, but it is helpful for the coaches to know your goals in advance so they can prepare.  
  • Please review all of the details of competitive swim lessons.
  • Payment will be made via Zelle to the Stingrays/Eli Gelardin (payment info is in the above link).  Eli is our treasurer (this is why his name is on the Zelle QR code).  Full payment must be made before the first lesson.  Put "your swimmer's name" and "coach's name" in the Zelle memo.  
  • Cancellations from families must be received at least 72 hours before the session begins.  If you must cancel, text the coach, email stingraymembership@gmail.com, and remove your name from the signup genius.   If a coach must cancel for any reason, a full refund will be issued
  • Sessions will be reserved on this Signup Genius.  To be fair, we ask families to sign up for a maximum of 2 sessions.  We will allow additional signups if open sessions are available after one week.
