Good morning Stingrays-

For those coming to evaluations this week-here is a little guidance on what the coaches are looking for. Ultimately it will be their call after seeing your child in the water:

Team Ready:

• Can swim unassisted at least a majority of the way across the pool
• Can float on their back
• Can kick with a kickboard length of the pool

Stingray Splash:

• Willingness to participate
• Will put face underwater
• Not afraid to try and float on their back
• Can attempt a few strokes of free and/or backstroke
• Can use kickboard independently

The goal with Splash Academy is to transition those kids to the team by Friday, May 13th. Our coaches will do our best to get them there in that time, but we cannot guarantee team placement.

All Splash Academy participants will be celebrated at the end of the 4 weeks and invited to our Team Pep Rally in May to be recognized, as well as received a team shirt and cap.

Refunds will only be given through Monday, April 25th for both team practice and Stingray Splash.

If you still have questions/concerns, we'll get it figured out at evaluations this week. If our coaches feel your child would not be a good fit for Stingray Splash, they will be honest with you up front! We want you and your child to have a great experience and love swimming!

See you at the pool!
