Benicia Stingrays

Hello Stingrays,

 

First Week of Practice

Well, we have made it!  Season-opening clinics start on Monday!  Please remember that the clinic times may differ slightly from the regular season just for this first week of practice.  County rules require us to limit each practice group to 45 minutes until we hit the month of April. Here are your times for this week only:

  • 6 and unders:  4:00-4:30 or 4:30-5:00 (go to your regularly assigned groups)
  • 7/8's: 4:30-5:15
  • 9/10's:  5:30-6:15
  • 11/ups: 6:15-7:00

 

Pool/Beach Day Raffle

  • Our first fundraiser of the year is here!  This is your chance to win everything you need to survive a swim meet or a day at the beach.  First prize (Wagon, Pop Up Sunshade, Coleman Ice Chest on wheels, Sun Screen,  Towels, Insulated Coffee Mugs, Lawn Chairs, Beach Blanket, and more) is valued at over $500.  Second prize (Green Cart to carry your pool day items, Towels, Insulated Coffee Mugs, Sunscreen, and a Beach Blanket) is valued at over $250.  
  • Tickets are $10 each or 6 for $50 and will be on sale all week at practice from either Jeanne Woodford or Andrea Meaders (9/10 Josilyn's and 6/under Taylor's grandma and mom).  
  • We would love it if every family could sell 5 tickets!  
  • See the flyer for complete details!  
  • The drawing will be held at our season opening party on April 30th.   

 

Team Suit Fittings

  • Suit fittings will HOPEFULLY take place on Wednesday, March 29th from 4:30-6:00 pm.  The only caveat is that the representative from Elsmore Swim Shop will not come if it is raining.  We will send out updates as soon as we receive them from Elsmore to keep everyone in the loop to the best of our ability.
  • Here is the link to our team suit page.
  • Remember if you are unable to make it to suit fittings, you can go in person to Elsmore Swim Shop in Walnut Creek for a fitting.
  • All suits will be ordered online by you through our online team shop at Elsmore

 

Social Media

  • In an effort to control our following on social media, we are trying to limit followers to family and friends of the Stingrays.  If you have requested to follow the team on Instagram and have not yet been accepted, please email pr@bsrswim.org, introduce yourself to Brieanne Marshall, and she will approve your request.  

 

Volunteer Subs

  • Don't forget--if your non-swimming teenager wants to earn an easy $50, sign them up to be a volunteer job sub at swim meets.  Email us with their name and cell phone to have them added to the online list of job sub contacts (only visible to logged-in Stingray families).  

 

Finally, don't forget there is no practice during Spring Break.  Practice will resume on Monday, April 10th.
