Congratulations to all of our Stingray County Qualifiers! The season is now officially over! It was such a long hot weekend. The T-shirts are an odd mustard yellow color. There were stinging wasps in camp. AND it was Coach Miguel's birthday AND we had a great weekend of swims AND two team records were broken! For those of you wondering, between 40-50 teams compete at County Championships every year. This is about 10 times the number of teams that compete at our League Meet. County includes rec teams from all...

I forgot to say in the last Final (?) County Update that we obviously will not have space for every family to have their own personal tent. Once we have 4 tents set up, everyone will just cram in and share the space. There is no personal space at County and we will share sweat and food all weekend. Today, we already have 2 parents going out to set up 4 team tents in the assigned Stingray Camp at noon. We can all share these tents. If you want to...

Hi County Team, It looks like County practice week is going well! It is so fun for the swimmers to get so much personal attention from the coaches! Thank you to all our coaches for coming out to help with practice! Good news! For the first time, we do not have any timing assignments for County!
