Swim Team Stingrays
Our Future Swimmers- The Guppy Program

STONE LAKE SWIM TEAM Stingrays
**GUPPIES**

The Guppies program is for young swimmers who may not be ready for a commitment to the regular swim team.  The only requirement is that a child be able to swim the width of the pool in any stroke (or form), without stopping, walking on the bottom, or being helped.  In borderline cases, a child may participate in the program for the first week in an effort to meet this goal.  Registration fees will be returned (less minimal fee for SAIL insurance and processing) if there is unforeseen difficulty in achieving the Guppy swimmer’s goal and/or happiness.  However, this program is not to be considered as a substitute for swimming lessons.  There is no age limit in Guppies.
 Guppies are part of the swim team and will be invited to participate in all socials, pep rallies, and team events.  Guppies may agree to move up to the regular swim team during the swim season, based on the judgment of the coaches and the permission of the parents.
 We will host one Guppy swim meet, and will try to participate in a second one.  Guppy practice will be held on Mon., Tues, & Wed., June 2-4 from 3:15 pm – 4:00 pm, with no practice on Thursday, June 5th or Friday, June 6th (due to our 1st Swim Team meet at GCC).  Our regular summer schedule for Guppies will begin on Monday, June 9th from 11:30 am – 12:15 pm, and will be offered Monday – Friday at this same time until June 27th.   

**All children interested in Guppies should come to the pool on Monday, May 12th at 3:15 pm for a swimming proficiency test.
