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.
