The Biltmore Park Stingrays!
 Every summer we look forward to seeing many of our seasoned Stingrays on the team, as well as welcoming new swimmers. Children of all abilities are welcome as long as they can swim the width of the pool. As a Stingray, your children will be on a team where they gain valuable social and athletic skills, while also learning a life-long sport.
We know summer is a busy time and many of you cannot make all of the swim meets; however we do encourage swimmers to be at as many as possible. They are wonderful community events, as well as opportunities to see the growth and success of our kids throughout the season.
Season: Starts in late May, as soon as the pool is open.
Age Groups: Age as of May 1 determines the child’s age group for competition.
6 + 7-8 9-10 11-12 13-14 15 & Over
Prerequisites: Child must be able to swim the width of the pool (15 yards) unassisted.
Cost to Join: $125 for each child. $200 for non-residents.
