Hello Stingray Families, While this was definitely not the swim season that any of us planned for, we appreciate how flexible and understanding everyone was as we navigated so many challenges. Let's hope things return to normal in the new year and we can all once again see each other at the pool. We currently have three open board positions and we hope that you will consider taking on a larger role with the team. The open positions are: Meet Director Communications Director Secretary If you have interest in learning...

Hi Stingray Families, Just a reminder that the second session of our fall swim program begins tomorrow for those on the Tuesday/Thursday cycle and on Friday for those on the Monday/Wednesday/Friday cycle. A few key reminders for all of those families participating: There are a handful of families who have signed up for the swim camps, but have not paid the registration fees and/or have not completed the required waiver forms. Swimmers cannot swim until these steps are completed! To pay registration fees, either: Venmo: Pay our treasurer, Victor Vitale,...

Hello Stingrays, We hope this message finds everyone safe and healthy. With the air quality conditions presenting many challenges, the first session of fall swim definitely has not gone as planned.

Swimmers are not allowed to swim until they...

Hello Stingrays Families, We hope you all are continuing to stay safe and healthy! While we wish there was a really noteworthy update that could be given about the state of our swim season, the pool continues to remain closed and we continue to remain in a holding pattern for the time being. It sounds like the opening of the pool will be tied to our county entering Phase 3 of the state's reopening plan and we will continue to keep you updated as we receive additional information. Please reach...

Hello Stingray Families! We hope this email finds you all healthy. This has been a trying time with our local schools closing and many spring sports delaying their start dates. We just learned this morning that the city has closed the James Lemos pool until March 31st and as a result, we have to cancel the new swimmer clinics which were scheduled to start today. We also have to cancel the swimsuit fitting that was scheduled for today at the pool (as of now, the swimsuit fitting scheduled for March...
