About Us
Introduction
Mission
The Castle Pines Village Stingrays is a summer swim club designed first for fun and to provide a positive community experience for families and children of all ages. Second, we strive to provide instruction on swim techniques and swim meet participation, and to give children the opportunity to learn to compete positively in a casual environment.
History
The Stingray Team was created in 1997 to provide a fun and educational summer swim opportunity for children and families in Castle Pines Village. The team has grown in numbers and experience and this year promises more of the same!! We have some of the same old routines but also a few new ones too. We continue to draw on an incredible amount of talent from both our swimmers and our parent volunteers.
Why Join the Stingrays?
- Make new friends!
Last year, we had 130 kids from 80 families participate in the Stingrays. Both the swimmers and their parents will have the opportunity to meet literally dozens of other residents of Castle Pines Village. - Have fun!
What better place is there to be in the summer than in the pool? The meets are fun. The social events are fun. Even the practices are fun! - Become a better swimmer!
It's amazing how swimming an hour a day under the watchful eyes of our expert coaches will make you a better swimmer. Plus you will have a chance to learn all the strokes. - Get in shape/stay in shape!
Some of our members swim year around on competitive teams. The Stingrays give them a chance to stay in shape while getting some sun! Other members find swimming makes then better at soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse and other sports. Still others just like the exercise. However you cut it, swimming is one of the best full-body workouts going.
