Stingray Update - November 28, 2025

Elizabeth Simpson

Dear Stingray Parents and Swimmers,

We have a few urgent matters that need your attention: Skills and Skillets and December 6-7 Volunteer signup.  Looking ahead, we also have our holiday practice schedule.

_____

SKILLS & SKILLETS - Sunday, November 30 

Register here: Skills and Skillets Signup

Our Senior Practice Group swimmers will be running a stroke clinic for our younger swimmers.  After the clinic, all swimmers are invited to a pancake breakfast.  The cost is $15 per participant.  

Order of Events: 

9:00 AM - Senior Swimmers arrive and report to Coach Rich

9:15 AM - Gold, Silver, Bronze and MiniRay - Clinic Begins

10:30 AM - All swimmers - Breakfast 

 

Senior Swimmers and Senior Parents: 

Senior Swimmers - You are teaching the clinic, so no need to register or pay. Coach Rich will check in with you to confirm that you are available to help.

Senior Parents - Please help us by clicking here: Senior Parent Skills and Skills Breakfast Job Signup!

VOLUNTEERING - ACTION NEEDED

We still need help!  There are many unfilled jobs that are essential to the running of a smooth and stellar meet.  If you have already signed up, THANK YOU!!  IF you have not, do not delay any longer, click here Volunteer Signup. ALL Stingray families must volunteer for AT LEAST TWO slots at this meet. 

What happens if we don’t fulfill our volunteer obligation?

 

As indicated in the registration process, every family has to fill a minimum of TWO volunteer slots at our December meet (Saturday/Sunday) and TWO volunteer slots at our Clusters Championship Meet in February.   If you are unable to fulfill this requirement, we charge a $100 volunteer fee per meet. 


However, WE DON’T WANT YOUR MONEY, we want YOUR HELP!  Our meet is the best-run meet all season because we have parents who care and work well together. If you have an unavoidable issue with availability, we expect YOU to contact us ASAP so alternative volunteering opportunities can be arranged.  Don't wait until the last minute.

Questions about volunteering? ASK as soon as possible!
