Dear Stingray Nation,

Our 2025 Easter Clusters YMCA Championship was AMAZING!!  

Parents - Thank you so much for your many, many contributions to make our second meet of the season a success!!   We are grateful to each and every one of you!  Some of you noticed last minute shortages and were willing to switch jobs, or even cover multiple jobs, so as to cover all critical positions to keep our meet moving smoothly.  What a great Stingray parent team!

Coaches - Thank you for spending your weekend with our children!  An extra shout-out to Coach Rich and Coach Matt who were double-booked this weekend with their HS Boys’ meets and our FFYS meet, but still gave their all to our Stingrays!

Swimmers - Congratulations to ALL swimmers for bringing your A-Game to the meet.  In addition to the time drops and new cuts, there was so much team spirit!  Our Stingrays are known for pumping each other up and cheering for each other at the ends of the lanes more than any other team.  Other teams notice and are in awe of our team.  Way to go Stingrays!! 

A few extra special thank yous to the folks who spend hours and hours of time planning our successful meets…
