Pre-Competitive Team -- Registration Invitation

We’ve had a great start to our competitive group season so far and have decided to move ahead with our pre-competitive session.  The session will begin September 15 and end on November 19.  Practices will be Tuesdays/Thursdays from 6:15 to 7:00.  At this time, because COVID-19 restrictions have limited the number of swimmers we can have in each lane, we will only be accepting 15 pre-competitive swimmers.  If things go well, we may consider more swimmers for the winter session.  Registration will be first-come, first-served.  Please follow the link here to register before COB on Monday, September 14. 

Registration is $200 for the session (paid monthly), in addition to the $10 USA Swimming and $10 Wyoming Swimming membership fees.  You must choose the $10 USA Swimming Flex membership or you will be de-registered, and the next waitlisted child will be registered.  (Do not choose the $0 USA membership).  If your child must miss practice or if practice must be cancelled for any health or safety reason, no refunds will be available.

A mandatory parent/swimmer meeting will be held on the lawn outside the Rec Center at 5:30 p.m. on September 15 before the first practice.  At that time, we will discuss in detail the health and safety protocol and ask all families to acknowledge and sign the protocol and release.  Please review both.  If you are unable to agree to the terms of either, please do not register your child.  We will also distribute kick boards and fins (to be returned at the end of the session) on September 15.  Swimmers will not share equipment, and it will be the swimmers’ responsibility to bring these items to every practice.  

We are still uncertain about what competition will look like this fall given the health and safety limitations.  We will keep you posted, and pre-competitive swimmers will be given an opportunity to compete, if at all possible.

Finally, if you have the financial means this year, please remember the JH Stingrays in your Old Bills' Donations.  A little goes a long way, and we need your support more than ever.

If you have questions, please reach out to the Board at jhstingrayboard@gmail.com.  We look forward to talking with you!
