Welcome to Robinwood West Swim Team
The Robinwood West Stingrays is a community-based summer swim team for youth ages 5–18. Our mission is to provide swimmers of all ability levels the opportunity to learn and enjoy the sport of swimming while building lasting friendships and promoting healthy, active lifestyles. We offer year-round swimmers a chance to stay in shape and remain competitive during the summer season, while also creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for new swimmers to develop their skills.
About the Team
The Robinwood West Swim Team is dedicated to the enjoyment and enrichment of the sport of swimming. Swimmers have the opportunity to develop team spirit, cooperation, and individual discipline while learning and improving the four competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. The safety of every swimmer is always our top priority.
Our team relies heavily on the support and involvement of our families. Parents are an essential part of our program and will be asked to volunteer their time to help at swim meets throughout the season.
Our team is built around four primary goals:
1. Skill Development
Our goal for each swimmer is continuous improvement. Progress is best measured by comparing times from meet to meet. Regardless of placement, swimmers can take pride in steady improvement. Achieving this requires dedication, consistent practice, and attention to coaching instruction.
2. Competition
We believe competition is a valuable and positive learning experience. Swimmers are encouraged to strive for personal bests while contributing to the overall success of the team, always demonstrating good sportsmanship. Our team primarily consists of swimmers who participate during the summer season rather than year-round.
3. Exercise
Swimming is one of the best forms of overall physical fitness. Any swimmer who actively and consistently participates in practice will improve their conditioning and overall health.
4. Fun
We believe swimming should be FUN! The team environment fosters friendships, encourages teamwork, and creates an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all participants.
