About the Stingrays
The Stingrays are funded entirely by monthly practice fees from team members
and through the support of the Arlington Stingrays Parents Association.
The Arlington Stingrays are affiliated with North Texas Swimming and USA
Swimming. All members of the Stingrays must also become members of USA
Swimming. The Stingrays compete regularly at local and regional age group
swimming competitions as well as Texas Age Group Swimming (TAGS) championships.
In addition, the Stingrays have sent teams to international competitions
in Puerto Rico, Germany, and Canada.
Members of the Stingrays must be between the ages of 5 and 18. Though
competitive swimming experience is NOT required to join the team, prospective
members should be experienced swimmers (Red Cross level 4 is recommended).
New members will be placed on one of seven teams commensurate with their
experience and skill. These teams are (from least to most experienced):
White, Green, Blue, Red, Orange, Black, and Silver.
