Stingray Swim Team
With over 200 swimmers, the CCRA Stingrays are a vibrant and active part of our CCRA community
Stingrays Swim Team
The CCRA Stingrays Swim Team is a great way for kids to spend the summer at the pool! The team is open to members with weekday, combination and full summer memberships to Chevy Chase Recreation Association.
Team members participate in swim meets, practices and social activities. The team focuses on creating a positive family atmosphere where children can develop their swimming skills, build overall confidence and form lasting friendships. It’s an excellent way for kids, and their parents, to get to know other families at the pool. We welcome all kids, regardless of experience.
This year, the Stingrays will compete in Division B of MCSL (Montgomery County Swim League). Registration opens May 1.
