Our club is a USS year
round competitive swim team offering high quality professional
coaching and technique instruction for all ages and abilities. The
goal of our team is to provide every member an opportunity to
improve their swimming skills and achieve success at his or her
level of ability, from novice to JO qualifier to high school
swimmer to those who want to swim in college.
We emphasize the lifetime value of the sport, the importance of
teamwork, the necessity of a thinking approach to training and the
positive aspects of competition. Swimmers learn skills while they
build strength and endurance. They learn to plan for success, to
cope with setbacks and to take responsibility for themselves and
their teammates. Our team environment encourages young people to
develop self-discipline, consistency and reliability. And they have
fun while they’re doing it!
The most visible goal of our program is to help young people
develop their individual potential in the sport of competitive
swimming. Our program provides a good foundation for those swimmers
who wish to go on to high school and/or college swim teams. All
swimmers, regardless of their individual abilities, will receive
encouragement and comprehensive instruction.
Stingray Swim Team strives to make practice times convenient for
families. Swimmers can choose between several workout schedules,
both at The Alaska Club South and the UAF Patty Pool. Swimmers are
encouraged to practice as often as possible - up to six days a week
All of our coaches, as members of the American Swim Coaches
Association, have access to the most comprehensive training and
certification program for youth coaches of any sport in the United
States. They provide assurances that the time children spend in
swimming will be quality time.
Stingray Swim Team, a non profit club, is run by its elected
Board of Directors which meets several times each year. All members
are welcome at each meeting and encouraged to be involved in team
activities and fund-raisers.
We are constantly growing and training young swimmers to
maintain a well rounded competitive swim team. Thank you for
joining us. We are looking forward to meeting you.
