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 Stingray Families, Season Ending Survey As the season has sadly come to an end, we would like the opportunity to survey our team. We would like to know what you felt worked, what didn't work, and any concerns or suggestions you may have. Here is the link to the survey. Thank you in advance for filling it out. Awards Ceremony Reminder Don't forget the Awards Ceremony will occur on Sunday, August 27th from 11:30am - 1:30pm at the Clocktower. We will need parent volunteers so please sign up to...
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!...

As Monday, September 4th is Labor Day, there will be no pracitce on that date. Practice starts on Tuesday, September 5th.
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...
Happy Friday County Families! We just received the timing lanes. We are in lane 1 for both days. As a reminder, here are the volunteer shifts. Please show up for your shift 5 minutes before you are scheduled to start. If you are the 9:00 AM shift, they may want you there a few minutes before that. Thanks and see you all tomorrow!!! Lane 1 Saturday 9:00-9:45 Ambrose 9:45-10:30 Magno 10:30-11:15 Godden 11:15-12:00 Vitale Lane 1 Sunday 9:00-10:00 Smith 10:00-11:00 Marshall 11:00-12:00 Roldan
Hi County Families! First a few reminders: Tomorrow is breakfast at One House Bakery after practice. Remember to send your swimmer with some money to purchase breakfast with the team. Don't forget to have clean car windows and leave your car in the driveway for the coaches and Knight Rays to decorate your windows on Friday evening. Make sure Coach Mariska knows which car to decorate if there are multiple in the driveway. As you will see in the email I am cutting and pasting from County (along with the...
Update to Volunteer Work Assignments: Audrey will not be in town for County. She graciously offered up Miguel to fill her shift, but I think we would all prefer Miguel be coaching/motivating/whistling at our kids over sitting in a timing chair. Here is the adjusted volunteer schedule. It just added 15 minutes to each Sunday shift, so not a big deal at all. Again, please reach out if we need to make changes. Saturday 9:00-9:45 Ambrose 9:45-10:30 Magno 10:30-11:15 Godden 11:15-12:00 Vitale Sunday 9:00-10:00 Smith 10:00-11:00 Marshall 11:00-12:00 Roldan
Hi County Families, We have the Volunteer Work Assignments. Benicia is responsible for one timing chair each morning from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and no timing chairs in the afternoon. I did not assign a work shift to Relay Only families because it seems unfair to ask these families to show up to work a shift in the morning when their swimmers may not be there yet. Here is the schedule. Please let me know ASAP if the assignment does not work for you so that we can make...
Great Job Team!!! Congratulations on surviving what was probably the biggest/longest meet many of your swimmers have ever participated in! Overall we finished in 3rd place against some strong competitors! We all had a great day! Thank you to the coaches for an awesome season and to everyone who volunteered, donated to the breakfast table, and just supported our swimmers! We had a few heartbreaks along with many great, and a few exceptional, swims yesterday! Mila Roldan (6) won all 3 of her races, finished as 6/under girls' high point...
