Welcome to the 2026 Summer Swim Season!
Hi to all Stingray families, new and old! It's May, which means the summer swim season will begin soon and my mega-emails have begun. Here's some pre-season info:
Registration update
We have another big team this year and we have once again instituted a 30-swimmer cap on every age/gender group. The following age/gender groups are CLOSED: 6 and under boys, 7-8 girls, and 9-10 girls. If you know families that are expecting to swim with us this summer and have yet to register in any of the open groups, please encourage them to do so soon.
Open House/Old Swimsuit Donation
We will be hosting an open house on the pool playground from 4-5 next Sunday, May 10th. For any new families, this is a great time to say hi to our coaches and league reps before the chaos of pup camp and regular practices begin.
Do you have old team swimsuits you'd like to donate? We'd like to have them available during the open house. If you have swimsuits you'd like to donate, please drop them off on the porch of 4240 Foxbury Ct. Thank you!
Pup Camp
We will be hosting pup camp May 11th-14th from 5-6 PM. A more detailed email will be sent to pup camp families later today (hopefully!).
Kickoff Party
Our preseason kickoff potluck and party is May 16th from 4-7 pm. Food signups are available now in the green job sign-up button next to the event on Swimtopia. We'd love to see you there!
Sponsors
We have a number of fantastic sponsors this season. Please check them out HERE. The community support is a huge part of our swim team and I am so grateful for these sponsors. Please support these businesses that support us! THANK YOU
Merch order
Our new merchandise orders will only be available until May 12th and will be delivered a few weeks later. Please visit the store HERE. There's some good-looking new stuff in there, including hats, sweatpants, hoodies, and shirts. As a reminder, for team swimsuit orders (that are not required), please visit swimoutlet HERE.
Everything else
Our SWIMTOPIA website is always the best first resource if you have any questions about our team or the season. The schedule and calendar are updated, old team emails are archived on our news posts, and you can even learn about our wonderful coaching staff. Or maybe you're interested in being part of our steering committee. We'd love to have you!
As a reminder you can follow us on instagram @newsherwoodstingrays . Content will be picking up soon!
That's it for now. Have a great week and GO STINGRAYS!
Jeremy and Brooke
