Why wear a swim cap?

Swim caps are worn for many reasons: to protect  your hair from chlorine and keep it from tangling, to help you streamline as you swim, to insulate the top of your head when you're in cold water. During a meet, they also make you visible to the coaches. They also match your swim suit and show team pride!

New Swim Caps are in and available to purchase at all meets ($13). Get yours today and be sure to label it with a sharpie.

 

 

 

Swim Team Membership Requirements

 

 Speed is not a requirement to join the stingrays but safety definitely is, so   all children signing up for the stingrays must be able to swim the length of   the pool.  Swim Team is not a substitute for swim lessons, if your child is not water safe then the coaches will ask that your child register for the MINI-RAY program, details to be announced at registration.  

The Summer Swim Team program requires a large number of volunteers.  In order to register your child an adult from your family must be willing to volunteer during the summer swim season.  Sign-up sheets for the volunteer positions will be at registration.  Registration forms will not be accepted until an adult has signed up to volunteer for the required amount of time.  If everyone does their part we can have a terrific year!              

We’re glad to see those of you who swam with us last year and we’re excited to welcome new stingray swimmers and families. Our goals this year are to:

  •    Have fun while learning the sport of swimming  

  •     Challenge each swimmer to achieve his/her potential and develop positive self-esteem

  •      Foster teamwork, good sportsmanship, and a family oriented environment  

  •     Build lasting friendships  

  •     Instill in our children a love of swimming  

For those parents who are new to the Ashland Stingrays, this handbook is to help you transition into the swim team life.  Every swimmer’s parent has experienced the first day of swim practice or that first swim meet where they wonder “why am I here and what’s going on?”  We’ve all been there before and will be glad to help you understand the world of summer swimming.  Welcome, we are glad to have you with us.  

Mission Statement:  

The philosophy of the Ashland Stingrays is that having fun is the most important thing we can do!  It is important to establish a healthy environment that encourages the swimmers to do their best, recognizes their contributions, and is fun for the entire family.  Three important characteristics for swimmers to posses at all times are dedication, commitment and a positive attitude.  We will then have met our goals.  

We are all looking forward to a great season!!!  

The 2007 Ashland Swim Team Board
