The Stafford Stingrays swim team is making waves this summer, boasting a winning record for the first time in years. With around 100 young swimmers aged 3 to 18, the team has seen a resurgence in participation, a positive sign following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Practices are held at the Stafford Municipal Pool, with sessions split into two groups: younger swimmers practice from 6 to 7 PM, while older swimmers take the pool from 7 to 8 PM. As the pool opens to the public, the team has adjusted its schedule to practice late at night, from 8 PM to 10:30 PM, Tuesday through Friday. Swim meets take place on Mondays, with the team hosting events at their home pool and traveling across Southwest Houston.

The Stingrays have a rich history, with ties to many original Stafford families. This year’s success reflects not only the dedication of the swimmers but also the community's support. The team encourages everyone to follow their journey on social media and through their website, where updates and information about upcoming events can be found.

With a winning record now in hand, the Stafford Stingrays are poised to continue their momentum, fostering a love for swimming among the youth of Stafford and beyond.
