Stingrays Swim Team

Welcome to the 2026 swim season! We are excited to be your Centennial Stingray coaching staff. Our goal is to enhance the swimmer’s joy of the sport, give all swimmers the foundation they need to become confident in the water and to improve throughout the summer, celebrate those achievements, and most of all, HAVE FUN!

Our 2026 summer season will run from June 1st through July 9th, with practice on Monday through Thursday. Our meets will be on Wednesdays and Saturdays. See below for specific times for practice and dates for meets.

General Information

Basic Requirements

There is no minimum age limit for the swim team, however, each swimmer must be able to complete one length of the pool (25 meters) without stopping using a recognizable stroke (backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle). This is the minimum length for competition, and the minimum length for sets assigned during practice.

***Attention Club Swimmers!***

If you are a club swimmer, you have until May 15th to decide whether you want to compete with your club or summer club. At Centennial, we welcome all club swimmers to join us for practices (see rates), but per league rules, you will not be able to compete with us if you are competing with swim club. 

Swim Suits and Equipment

For practice, swimmers will need goggles, swim cap (optional), towel, kick board (optional), and a comfortable swimsuit:

Boys: Jammers or Speedos, Black

Girls: Dolfin Uglies, Jade

***All swimwear and equipment can be purchased at MI Sports***
