Good afternoon, Stone Mountain Stingray families! 

Time Trials: Tuesday, May 24 - VERY IMPORTANT that your swimmer is at this practice.  All stingray swimmers will swim every stroke (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and/or butterfly) that they are able to swim during their normal practice time. This will give the coaches a baseline time for your swimmer in each stroke before our first meet on May 31.  Swimmers will start practicing diving off the starting blocks.  We will also be using the starter system so that our swimmers (especially our young and new swimmers) become used to the process i.e. starting signal (blast) that signals the start of a race.

Swimsuits: Due to supply chain issues, Swim Freak (our league partner) has not been able to get our Speedo team suit in for us in time for swim season.  However, all swimmers will need a competition quality swimsuit similar to the one pictured on our website and in the attachment.  A black swimsuit with royal blue on the side panels or a plain black speedo competition swimsuit will work - if it still fits, feel free to wear your team suit from last year.  Swim Freak does have a few Stingray style swimsuits left from last year in various sizes as well as suits in plain black that you are more than welcome to take your swimmer to try on in store (information below).  If you have a suit that no longer fits your swimmer, please bring it to Tuesday's (May 23) practice - it might fit someone else!
