Practice for Summer 2025 begins on April 7th for Stingrays Team swimmers (6&U group and above). We'll have afternoon practices during the school year, and then switch to morning practices after MDUSD schools let out for the summer. Looking forward to seeing you at the pool! See the Practice Schedule for summer (afternoon) practice times.

NOTE - The team is starting summer practice during the week of MDUSD Spring Break to give the swimmers a little more conditioning time in the water before our first meets. If your family is planning a trip during Spring Break, we’ll see you at the pool after break!
