South Whidbey Stingrays Swim Club

Welcome to the South Whidbey Stingrays. We are a recreational swim club that accepts swimmers 8-18 years of age.  Our mission is to provide a fun and inviting atmosphere in which to learn the four competitive strokes of swimming.  Swimmers will develop endurance, strength, work ethic, positive self-image and above all a love for the sport of swimming.  Our coaches are committed to serving both the recreational and competitive swimmer.

South Whidbey Stingrays Winter 1 Session

Dates:  November 19, 2024  – January 30

It looks like all practice groups will fill with swimmers continuing from the Fall session.  If any spots become available, registration will open Tuesday, November 12 at 12PM – noon.
