Hi Stingray family!  Happy Father's day to all our Stingray dads who celebrate.  You've earned it!

Tuesday: Intrasquad Meet

We will be having our Intrasquad meet and pancakes and pajamas event on Tuesday.  It will begin at 5:30. Even if you're not swimming, come by to enjoy some pancakes and hang out.  The swimming portion should take no more than 1-1/2 hours.

The signups for each race are posted at the display case next to the bathrooms at the pool and will remain open until the races start.  Any Stingrays, their parents, older siblings, alumni, etc. are welcome to participate!

Do you have floaties we can borrow for our floatie race?  Let us know.  Just the normal circular floats that go around your waist are ideal.  Please bring them!

Friday:  City Meet!

I will send out a separate detailed email to those entered in the city meet, but because we will be at Bolton, there is NO FUN FRIDAY PRACTICE THIS WEEK.  Also, if you are signed up and have not yet paid the city meet fees, please do so at our team merch store on swimtopia using the splash/entry fee items.

Great job this week, Stingray swimmers and volunteers.  With our home meet stretch done, the hardest parts are done.  

A special shoutout to a few volunteers who are essential to our home meets.  We are so lucky to have Dean Powell and Mark Cavanaugh as our starters and Jae Walser as our referee.  They are huge in making our meets run smoothly.

Shama Whitley, the queen of concessions, works her butt off and makes it look easy.  Adrian Wilkinson, our DJ(@wake.dj on instagram), helps bring the fun and energy every week with his musical talents.

We appreciate you all so much.  You get to take a break for this last half of the season!  Thank you!

Have a great week and Go Stingrays!

Jeremy and Brooke
