Rays Swimming - Featured Team

by Josh Huger (MrUtopia)

The following is taken from the Stingrays team website. Listed below is the teams discription and history...

"The STINGRAYS swim team is a year-round USA Swimming and YMCA team. The team is divided into five practice groups, providing a natural and sensible progression through which the swimmer moves as he or she grows and matures. This structure is designed to encourage a swimmer's enthusiasm for the sport, and to meet the needs of all levels of ability and interest."

"The STINGRAYS was organized in 1979 by Joyce O'Toole with the help of Sue-Anne Shotwell, Program Director for the YMCA. Carl Ingerbretsen was the first STINGRAYS coach. The team was organized as an AAU Team (AAU is now USA Swimming) and as member of the Virginia YMCA Association. The team initially practiced at Goolrick Hall at Mary Washington College. Today practices are held at Massad YMCA, Spotsylvania YMCA, and Goolrick Hall at the University of Mary Washington. Since the team's inception, STINGRAYS swimmers have held national swim records, many have gone on to compete at the college level and some have become coaches. IT CAN ALWAYS BE SAID THAT STINGRAYS SWIMMERS HAVE FUN BEING SUCCESSFUL."
