Sun Oaks Stingrays

We are a year-round USA-Registered Swim Team. Our motto is, “Kindness – Technique – FUN!!” We practice Monday-Thursday at Sun Oaks in the covered pool, with options to attend 2-4 times per week. Our team attends swim meets monthly in the Spring/Summer & every other month in the Fall/Winter. Swim meets are OPTIONAL. If your child simply loves to swim and is not looking to compete – our team is a welcoming place for all swimmers to grow. Our team is open to kids ages 5-18. If your child has goals to be on the swim team, our year-round swim school is a perfect place for them to learn strokes, prepare & build endurance.

Email Angie with questions or to set up an assessment or try out.

Faqs

What is expected of Parents?

• Be supportive of coaches. We care about your kids! If you have questions or concerns, please wait until the end of practice to talk to the coach.

• Please give the coaches and your kids space during practice.

• Parents are expected to take turns timing at swim meets. We will brief you on how to “time.” Swim meets are put on solely by volunteers and we can’t do it without you! 

• We are looking for 2 parents to train as swim meet “officials.” If interested, please see Angie!

What are our mascot & team colors?

• We are the Stingrays! Navy blue & white are our team colors

Where do I buy swim equipment?

• swimoutlet.com/collections/sunoaksswimteam

• Swimmers with long hair MUST wear a swim cap at practices. Team Caps are REQUIRED at swim meets for ALL swimmers. This helps us identify the kids on our team so we don’t miss any races. Team caps are sold poolside at practice and meets. See your coach!

What do I need to do if I want to attend meets? 

• Let your coaches know if you are interested in meets. We will recommend the type of swim meet that is best suited for each child.
