Stingrays Swim Programs
| Competitive | Non-Competitive | |
FSSC offers 6 different levels of competitive programs. From the swimmer who is new to competition and swimming 25 meters unassisted, to the swimmer working towards National time standards. Volunteering, fundraising and officiating at meets will be expected from each competitive family. As the swimmer progresses through the program, the level of expectation in each of these areas will increase.
