Hi Team, Fall Swim Registration is well underway. We will open up registration to non-Stingrays on Tuesday, August 15th. If you have tried to register your 10/under (which includes 6/unders capable of swimming laps independently, 7/8s, and 9/10s) and found the group to be full, we have done some shifting around to open up some more spots. Please register ASAP if you want to snag one of those spots for your swimmer before we offer them up to non-Stingrays next week. We also still have space in the 11/up group.

Hi Stingrays, Our County Qualifiers completed their swim season this weekend at County Championships. It was an extremely hot and long weekend, particularly for those swimmers who participated on both Saturday and Sunday and qualified into the afternoon finals. We are so proud of how these swimmers hung in there and swam their hearts out! There were so many highlights, but of particular note, Ava Ambrose wow'd the crowd with her rendition of the National Anthem and Valerie Vargas broke the Stingray Team Record in the backstroke for 9/10 girls!...

Hi Stingrays! It is hard to believe, but it is already time to register for Fall Swim! Fall Swim is a great time for your Stingray to further their stroke development and endurance. Register early to save money during the first week of registration. Due to pool hours and available daylight, slots are limited. The first week of registration will be open to returning Stingray swimmers only. Many of our junior coaches have BHS band and sport commitments so we also must limit the number of 6/under non-Skate swimmers for...
