New for 2025 - Junior Rays Program!

The South Riding Stingrays are excited to launch a new program for our youngest swimmers, the Junior Rays! This program is for our 5-7 year old swimmers who are just beginning their swim team career. The program accepts a limited number of swimmers, three days a week for 30 minutes with a maximum of 3 swimmers per lane. One Junior coach will be assigned to each lane to provide instruction. Practices start once school is out for the summer (Monday, June 16th), Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 11:00-11:30 a.m. Cost of the program is $150.00. 

Junior Rays swimmers must be able to leave their parent and enter the water without hesitation. They must be able to put their face in the water, blow bubbles, float on their front and back, kick on their front and back and be comfortable in water where they cannot stand. The Junior Rays program is meant for first time swim team participants working toward becoming part of the Stingrays competitive team. It is not swim lessons. Our goal is to graduate all Junior Rays to Stingrays by the end of the season.

All Junior Rays will be evaluated prior to the season. Evaluation dates will be scheduled in May. If the Coach determines that your swimmer is not proficient enough to participate, your registration fee will be fully refunded. In case of over-registration, Stingrays’ siblings will get first priority in the Junior Rays program.
