Hey, Stingrays! We're super excited to invite you to join the Big/Little Swim Pals program! This awesome program is all about building friendships, team spirit, and having a blast together—no fancy gifts required, just good vibes and positive actions! It's about being a great teammate and supporting each other all season long!
What’s the Swim Pals Program About?
Both Big Pals (ages 11 and up) and Little Pals (ages 10 and under) are encouraged to cheer each other on during practices and meets. Big Pals, we’re counting on you to be the leaders—cheer, motivate, and show your Little Pals what it means to be a fantastic teammate! If you’re ready to be a mentor and role model, this program is for you! But if you’re not sure you can be there consistently, it’s okay to sit this one out.
Dates for Swim Pal Gift Exchange:
- June 22, 29, July 6, 13
CHECK YOUR FAMILY FOLDER BINS !!! Your swim pal will be provided by printout no later than June 16th, in your family name folder located in the Pavilion.
Here’s How to Dive In
- CREATE - Get creative! Write a fun note, draw a cool picture, or make a friendship bracelet for your Swim Pal! Use your creativity to inspire your Swim Pal to swim their best and get pumped up for a great meet!
- SWIM PAL MONDAY GIFT - On Mondays during Developmental Meets, bring a small gift for your Swim Pal—a small snack, a small drink, and your awesome creation! If you’re short on time, no worries! The Stingray Marketplace will be open, where you can create a small gift bag during time trials and home meets.
- CHEER - Show up and cheer on your Big/Little Swim Pal at the meets! Be the loudest, most enthusiastic supporter on the pool deck!
- CONGRATULATE - After your Swim Pal finishes their race, be there to tell them how awesome they did! A little encouragement goes a long way!
- POOL HANGOUTS - If you’re at the pool, meet up with your Swim Pal for some fun! Go for a swim together (Big Pals can even help with strokes), take a walk, or grab a snack. Make this experience unforgettable for both of you!
- FUN EVENTS - Spend time together at team events like Team Tuesday, Pep Rallies or the End of Year Banquet! We’ll also have other activities throughout the season to help you connect and have fun!
