**PM practice is limited to 24 swimmers (& will likely fill up quickly). As usual, evening practice is only available to those who need it for the whole season. We cannot do make-up evening practices for swimmers who attend a week of camp**
Mini-Stingrays
To be eligible, Mini-Stingrays must:
-Have some prior swimming experience (lessons, etc.).
-Be at least 5 years old.
-Be comfortable swimming in deep water unassisted as this group practices in the deep well.
-Be able to swim at least 15 meters unassisted.
The goal of this program is to have all members of the Mini-Stingrays entered into a meet by the end of the season. Once the swimmer can complete the full length of the pool, they will be invited to participate in the swim meet but will continue at the same practice time. If, during the first practice, a child does not meet the minimum requirements for the Mini-Stingrays, the family will be offered the opportunity to sign up for two swim lesson sessions or be eligible for a refund of the swim team registration fee. Refunds are not available for the cost of the AAU Membership or the Westminster Pool Season Pass. The Mini-Stingrays group will be limited to 8 swimmers each.
Volunteer Policy
Our policy is available on the website under the ‘team Information’ tab. It must be signed during registration in order to complete registration. Please remember that our goals are to: have all the jobs filled, have all families participate and to not penalize anybody.
A couple of other reminders:
We will continue to use the TYR Hexa in navy/gold for girls and the Hexa Curved Jammer in navy/gold for boys (see attached image). Please note that team suits are completely optional. While we will be having Cy’s Swim Shop come out to Meet the Coaches Night to do swimsuit fittings, suits can be purchased from the vendor of your choosing.
Personalized caps (with swimmers’ names on them) will be available for order through the registration system until 5/31.
Our swim lesson program provides significant funding to the team and allows us to keep our swim team registration fees affordable. Please spread the word about our lesson program. Interested families can find information on lessons on our website and/or can email us at [email protected].
Information on lesson instructors and lesson helpers will be coming once registration is underway.
We can’t wait to see you all at the pool this summer! As usual, please email us at
[email protected] if you have any questions.
