Additional practice times are available on Wednesday evenings at the Villages at Leacroft pool, located across Prosperity Church Road from the Wellington Community. These are supplemental practices for practicing specific skills:

• June 17: backstroke and freestyle stroke clinic
• June 24: starts and turns clinic

No, but they are recommended in order to get the most out of summer swim. If you are unable to attend some practices and meets due to vacations or other commitments, that is fine. However, we ask that you declare your swimmer as available or unavailable in the Swimmingly app for all swim meets by the stated deadline so the coaches can create race entries. If you do not mark your swimmer as available by the deadline, your child might not be able to swim in the meet.

Yes, we couldn’t do this without parent volunteers! Each swim meet requires many parent volunteers to assist with tasks like these:

• transitioning kids to/from the bullpens and lining them up for their events
• timing for each lane
• stroke judges
• meet emcee and starter
• ribbons and heat awards
• scorekeeper
• concessions
• and more

Every family is expected to volunteer for 6 shifts. Many of the positions are split at a meet, meaning that you get credit for 1 shift if you work half of the meet and get credit for 2 shifts if you work the entire meet. Don’t worry! You will be able to choose your preferred meets and shifts in order to work around your family’s schedule. Additionally, the volunteer doesn’t have to be mom or dad. Grandma or uncle could volunteer!

Yes, we love having a diverse group of swimmers of all skill levels from all across our community. Anyone is welcome to join the Wellington Stingrays swim team, and we also have summer pool membership options for non-resident families.

Yes, but the Wellington Community Pool has two membership options: a limited swim team only membership (month of June) and a full summer pool membership for the whole family (Memorial Day to Labor Day). Residents of Villages of Leacroft are not required to join our pool since the Leacroft HOA supports the Stingrays by donating their neighborhood pool for evening practices.

All other communities must join the Wellington pool at one of the membership levels (swim season or full season).

If you don’t have access to a community pool and want your kids to continue their swim team friendships all summer long, we would love to have you join our pool for the full summer!
