WF Stingrays: Weekly Update 6 - June 11th
Good Morning Stingray Families,
We want to first take a moment to officially celebrate Summer Break! It feels oh-so-good to be finished with the school year and enjoy turning off those alarm clocks for a bit!
We are incredibly proud of our graduates and look forward to following everyone's adventures into the future! We have to clap loudly after learning that Head Coach Abby was named Valedictorian at West Forsyth! What an incredible honor! Fun fact, Head Coach Kelly was last year's Valedictorian! What a duo!! This is such an amazing feat and we love that our younger swimmers have role models in ALL of our coaches and can encourage them towards academic excellence as well! Be sure to congratulate them as you see them at the pool!
We are heading into what feels like our busiest week of the swim season and we hope your families are able to join us in many, if not all, of our events taking place!

*Team Picture Day: Friday, June 16th @ 8:30am: We know our swimmers may be tired from the week, but we will definitely make this so as quickly as possible. We really need ALL age groups on the pool deck at 8:30am to get started. Even if you do not plan on purchasing pictures, we would love to have all of our swimmers in the team picture.
Please wear your black one-piece suit. This will replace practice that day! Please pay attn to cones when parking. We often have to have people move so their vehicles aren’t in the picture. Order forms are attached for you to print and bring on the 16th.
*TYDE-hosted Stroke Clinics, Saturday, June 17th: We’d love to have a huge group attend these trainings! TYDE is sending three of their coaches over to lead the trainings and there is always a lot taken away from these clinics!
There are two sessions: 10 & under will be 8:00am-9:00am, 11 & Up will be 9:00am – 10:00am. RSVP to attend on our calendar page: https://waterford.swimtopia.
*Pancake Breakfast, Saturday, June 17th: Along with the stroke clinics, we are hosting a pancake breakfast! Come on down and have some breakfast with us before 10am!
*Save the Date- Wednesday, June 21st – Spirit Night @ Moe’s between 5:00-9:00pm! Come meet up with fellow Stingrays and enjoy some dinner! Moe’s will donate 20% back to our team when you mention you are with the Stingrays! Queso is never a bad idea!
*Volunteers: Outside of our volunteer needs for THIS Thursday’s meet against Brookberry, we are in need of volunteers for our last three Home Meets of the season! Please remember that all families need to volunteer for 3 shifts, especially if you would like your swimmer to be considered for Finals at the end of the season. We appreciate EVERYONE’s help in making our meets run smoothly!
*Team Shirts and Gear are here! We will have any remaining team shirts and gear at our practices and meets this week! Please be sure to collect your swimmers team shirts (and write their names on the tag in case they get left behind). Get some new car magnets and other swag at practices too!
Looking forward to a high-energy week and as always, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
Go Stingrays!
