Fall New Swimmers - SIGN UP FOR YOUR SWIM ASSESSMENT NOW!

New and returning swim families!

Thanks for your interest in the JH Stingrays.  The Stingrays kick off their fall season on Monday, August 30.  If you are new to the Stingrays or returning after taking last year off, we can't wait to see you! 

There will be 5 practice levels this year.  Practice times for each level are listed below, but please note that the start time for practices remains subject to the high school girls’ fall schedule and will likely change throughout the year (although we will do our best to minimize changes).  Below are the practice days based on level, and the monthly costs.

  • Level 1 – T/Th – 6:00-7:00 pm - $140/month
  • Level 2 – T/Th – 6:00-7:00 pm - $140/month
  • Level 3 – M/W/F – 6:00-7:00 pm- $150/month
  • Level 4 – M/W/F 6:30-8:00 pm; T/Th 7:00-8:00 pm (swimmers are encouraged to attend 4 practices per week) - $200/month
  • Level 5 – M/T/W/Th/F 6:00-8:00 pm - $250/month

We will be trying something a little bit different this coming year, and rather than swimming in “sessions,” once your swimmer is signed up, your swimmer will swim continuously until you give us notice that your swimmer would like to step off the team.  Billing will be monthly, at the rates listed above.  There will be four registration dates over the course of the year on which swimmers can choose to leave the team, new swimmers can be added, and current swimmers can transition to a new level (September 1, December 1, April 1, June 1).  USA swimming registrations will be charged to all swimmers joining the program on September 1, and will be billed to new swimmers as they are added to the team at the transition dates.

NEW AND RETURNING SWIMMERS SIGN UP FOR YOUR SWIM ASSESSMENT DATE HERE.  You can choose one of two days:  Tuesday, August 17 at 5:00 p.m. or Monday, August 23, at 5:00 p.m.  The assessment will take approximately 20 minutes. 

YOU MUST ALSO REGISTER YOUR SWIMMER ON ACTIVE HERE.  Choose the “Swim Test & Assessment” option.  If you choose to register for a Level without first completing the Assessment, you will be deregistered.  The cost of the assessment is $5, and you will also be prompted to pay the $71 USA Swimming membership fee.  If, for some reason, your swimmer does not join the team after the assessment, the $71 fee will be refunded promptly.

Please meet at least 5 minutes before the assessment in the lobby of the Rec Center where Coach Craig will meet the swimmers.  Swimmers should have their suits on under their clothes and bring cap and goggles.

After the assessment, if there is space available at your swimmers’ level, you will be invited to register.  While we hope to be able to accommodate all interested swimmers, we cannot guarantee a spot.  A waitlist will be maintained on Active, and as space opens, you will be invited to join the team at the next available registration period.

If you have any questions, please email the board at jhstingrayboard@gmail.com.

See you at the pool!!
