Sahuarita Stingray Swim Programs
Sahuarita Stingrays teaches and encourages swimmers of all levels and abilities. We recognize and individually address the needs of each swimmer. Our swim groups are designed to emphasize age and developmentally-appropriate learning.
We have a place for every swimmer, and take pride in helping everyone reach their potential!

Coaches are responsible for the placement of swimmers into their designated groups. The placement of swimmers will ultimately be decided by what will best benefit them individually and the team as a whole. Our goal is to keep like minded athletes together to facilitate a more harmonious and productive training program. As always please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about your swimmers placement in a group.
*For groups that have attendance requirements please communicate any extenuating circumstance with your coach before extended periods of absence.
