A few families had heard that a Spider-Man viewing was being floated around for our County Qualifiers. We looked into this, but the available seating in the theatres would not accomodate our 23 swimmers and their families for the times we require. As such, we reverted back to our annual One House Brunch and car decorating, and we are not planning a movie outing.

County Practice To be fair to all Stingrays, we ask that County Practice be limited to 2026 County Qualifiers. We have many siblings and friends who would love to participate in practice for one more week. We need to limit practice just to our current year's qualifiers so they get the attention and focus they need for last minute fine tuning. Thank you for understanding! One House Bakery Brunch/Lunch Friday after practice (11:30), the available coaches and County swimmers with their families plan to meet at One House Bakery for...

PR Plaques For Awards Ceremony--LAST CHANCE As stated in prior NewsSplashes, we are REQUIRING everyone who wants a PR plaque for their swimmer to actively commit to having one made. You commit to a plaque just as you would commit to a meet. We are not charging you to have a PR plaque made, but we want to know that you want it and will pick it up either at the Awards Ceremony or on the pool deck shortly after. We waste too much money making plaques that are never...

Great job at League Champs yesterday! It was a close one, but we are the three-peat Tri County League Champions!

Congratulations on your swimmer qualifying for County Championships! This is a huge accomplishment that only a very small percentage of Summer Recreation swimmers ever achieve! County Meet Info Here is the information again Most importantly, from the linked info, if you want to purchase VIP parking, it is like getting Taylor Swift tickets. VIP parking goes on sale Monday at 8:00 PM. You should already be logged in to your account (it was SignUpGenius in years past; I don't know if it has changed). Then refresh the County parking link...

Tomorrow's the big day!!! Due to injuries and changes to family obligations, we have some updates to the relays. Please review the changes below. We had to eliminate some of our "B" relays altogether to accomodate these changes and some of our B and C relay swimmers are being moved up to the A and B relays. We also have a couple of new adds to the relays so please review carefully! If your swimmer is assigned to a freestyle relay, do not leave early. We expect them to stay...

League Champs is quickly approaching! Our 13/up swimmers (the Knightrays) have been meeting all season, creating good luck posters for our 12/under Stingrays. On Thursday, July 23rd, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, the Knightrays will make special poster deliveries to all 12/unders who are attending League and reside in Benicia.
