Pep Rally - Rainbow Theme
Hammond Park Pool
Start: 7:00 PM
End: 8:30 PM (estimated)

This Friday, June 23rd, we have a lot of fun planned. First, our pancake breakfast practice starts off the day! You might notice an overlap of age groups and this is intentional to get the team some bonding and maybe even practice our team cheers. We are in need of some volunteers to help this work just right, so check in toward the end of your swimmer’s practice to see if you can help with serving the groups. :) Also, if you are interested in helping flip some flapjacks, email me and we can see dates that we need some help.

Friday night is also our first pep rally!!! Every meet has a theme and this weekend our theme is all the colors, with a RAINBOW THEME. At the pep rally we will have a sweet treat served for our swimmers! (If there are extras after the swimmers are served, we can offer it to other family members.) Please RSVP at https://hpstingrays.swimtopia.com/ to just give us a head count on how much to have on hand.

The pep rally starts at 7:00pm. We will have a variety of stations set up with activities. There will be:

-Chalking the Deck

-Nail Polish

-Poster Making

-Temporary Tattoos

-Sweet Treat

And some fun games led by our coaching staff!

At 8:00pm we will head to the well area and do some team cheers to get us pumped for the meet!

We hope to see you there for our first pep rally of the season!

Evening Practice Sign Ups
Hammond Park Pool

Evening practices are meant for swimmers who are unable to attend the morning practices. Because we have limited space in the evenings (the pool is still open and we only have a few lanes), swimmers should make every effort to attend the morning practice.

However, if transportation is an issue or there are activity/camp conflicts in the morning, we do offer evening practices on a sign up basis.

Parents: If your plans change after you sign up for a practice, please remember to delete your sign up if it is no longer needed.

Evening Sign Up Link

Mondays through Thursdays:
7:00pm-7:30pm (8&U, 6&U)
7:30pm-8:00pm (9-10)

Suit Fitting
Hammond Park Pool
Start: 12:00 PM
End: 4:00 PM

Hammond Park has a team suit and a team swim cap. Our vendor (Metro Swim Shop) will be on site at Hammond Park on Sunday, May 21st from 12pm-4pm for a suit fitting. Swimmers can try on suits to ensure they have the correct size and have the option of purchasing a suit at the suit fitting (and ordering personalized caps).

Families may also opt to order team suits and team caps online through our online team portal with Metro (link will be provided once it goes live). Suits and caps ordered online will have to pay for shipping (which is not the case at the suit fitting date).

Finally - you can also find our team suit online or at other vendors. It is the Dolfin Reliance Colorblock DBX Back (Female Suit) and Dolfin Reliance Colorblock Jammer (Male Suit), both in red/black.

Team suits are not required, but swimmers who will compete in meets are encouraged to wear the team suit. If a swimmer does not wear a team suit, we ask that the swimmer wear a suit with team colors (black, red, white) that does not display the logo of another team (such as a year-round club team).

Hey there Stingrays!!!

On Sunday, July 24th we will be having our end of season celebration! We know, we know, it’s so hard to believe we are nearing the end. But don’t worry, there is so much more fun in store for us. BUT… we do have to start planning. The Awards Night is for ALL Stingrays and Mini Rays! Every swimmer will receive an award.

DINNER will be served… IF you RSVP!!!We have partnered with Squisitos to come up with a delicious “Make Your Own” pasta bar. Penne pasta, Marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, grilled chicken, meatballs, salad, and of course some pizzas. We will follow it all up with cake for our sweet treat!!

If your family is interested in the banquet food, we ask that you please RSVP online under the July 24th event entitled “Swim Team Awards Night.” Please RSVP BY TUESDAY, JULY 19th at 10pm!!! Also include how many of your family members are going to be enjoying the meal in your RSVP. The cost is $5 per person. We will be accepting the following payments:

2. Venmo - @Jared-Fribush (Preferred)

3. Cash - please put in an envelope with your family name on and give directly to Jennifer or Jared

If your family is choosing to bring their own meal or eat before coming to the Awards night, you do NOT have to pay for cake (or RSVP for it either). Everyone is welcome to the Awards presentation, whether you RSVP for the meal or not.

ENTERTAINMENT - Team Slideshow… send us your pictures and videos!!!If your family is new to the team, we generally do an end of the season party with awards (broken down by age groups) and a slideshow when the sky is dark enough to use our projector. To make this video, we ask that you send pictures and videos (preferably shot horizontally) to the email [email protected].

We hope you can make it to this special night!
