I just want thank and acknowledge all of the parents who showed up to the HOA meeting Tuesday night to ask questions about our pool and speak on behalf of our swim team. We have so many loving, caring, and passionate families and it was reminder to me why the North Spring Stingrays are so special. We even had parents of past Stingrays show up, which speaks to what a impact this team has on our community. Also, shout out to our board members who spoke for us. They have been working diligently behind the scenes to collect inspections, meet with contractor, check the pool and text the HOA daily, read by-laws, and more. So shout out to our parents, families, and swim board. You are all awesome <3

Henrik - Shout out to Henrik, who is always locked in at practice! He implements all of the coaches' drills and feedback so quickly that it is hard to believe that he is a first year stingray! Henrick has also improved and dropped 8 of 9 swam events this season! Congrats Henrik!

Ariel - Shout out to Ariel for all of her hard work! Ariel is the type of swimmer who always rises to a challenge. In only her second year of swimming at her second dual meet of the season, Ariel has quickly mastered all four strokes and swam her first legal IM (Individual Medley)! Congrats Ariel!
