Ste. Genevieve Stingrays Swim Team is a competitive swim team that is open to swimmers ages 8-18 years old. Practices are weekly, Monday and Wednesday 3:30-5:00. Preseason is October - January and Regular Season is February - July.
If interested, new swimmers will need to attend tryouts in September. Swimmers will be asked to demonstrate in water skills consisting of at least 25 yards (the distance varies by the age of the swimmer) of the four competitive strokes: freestyle (with side breathing), backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. After the in-water skill evaluation, the coach will discuss next steps with you and your swimmer. Outcomes may include training group placement and/or continuing with swim lessons.

Intro to swim runs concurrently with SG Stingrays swim team and is offered February-April and May-July with the goal of joining the swim team. Swimmers need to have taken swim lessons and be able to swim independently.
