Stingray State team had a great weekend at ASU Pool this past weekend… beside vast improvements in tan lines… our kids swam fast and scored well! Coleman kept “stats” on Stingray overall performances and are as follows (perecentage of best times swum during each session).
Day 1:
- Prelims- 18/23= 78% best times achieved
- Finals= 11/15= 73% ” ” “
Day 2:
- Prelims= 19/24= 79% best times achieved
- Finals= 14/17= 82%
Day 3: Prelims= 17/21= 81% best times achieved
Finals= 9/12= 75%
Overall for the entire meet:
- Prelims= 54/68= 79.4%
- Finals= 34/44= 77.2%
Finals stats are especially great since most final swims were best times off of morning best time swims!
Congratulations to our STATE TEAM Finalists! YOU ROCK!…

Greetings Stingrays. It’s been quiet around here without our kids splashing around!! I see Coleman, Kiely, Mindy and myself a little lost to be honest with you (though very happy for the break!!). We hope our kids and thier families are enjoying thier time off and are getting ready to begin the school year. Attached are flyers for schedules (meets & workout times). Pre-Gold!! Please check your workout time schedule—- yours has changed slightly from what it has been in the past.
Our current enrollment looks good and most all our “regulars” have secured a spot for thier fall season training. Good to know we’ll start where we left off and grow from there! We had a great season this summer and are looking forward to another this fall/winter.
Don’t hesitate to encourage your quality friends who desire to be apart of a suppoertive, competitive swim team to come and try us out You bring them to us…. we’ll get them swimming fast!!
See you on the 17th!!
Updates to Meet Schedule will be posted soon

The TJCC Stingrays team is proud of its team diversity and welcomes children of all abilities, races, religions and backgrounds. We are thankful to be housed and financially supported by the Tucson Jewish Community Center, which has provided us with a top-notch facility and outstanding staff for many years. Each year our coaches and Board put together a practice schedule and meet schedule that coincides with the JCC holiday closures and also serves our diverse membership. As most of you know, due to the depth of our pool and the lack of diving blocks, the JCC cannot host USA swim meets. Our team competes only at meets that are hosted and scheduled by other teams, and we cannot control the dates and times of these meets.
This year a number of the meets fall on Jewish holidays. After consultation between the Parent Board, Coach Amy and the JCC Management, we made some adjustments to the fall meet schedule. The team will not attend the September 20th Sprint Meet as it falls over the Jewish High Holiday of Rosh Hashana. The team will attend the October 3rd and October 10th Fall Festival Meets which fall, respectively, during the Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret holidays. The coaches and Board fully understand and respect the fact that some of our swimmers may not attend these October meets due to their observance of the holidays. We also appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our non-Jewish swim families. Finally, we added a Season Opener Meet to the schedule for Sunday, September 13, 2009, at Flowing Wells Jr. High school pool. This meet offers a variety of races for every age and ability level. More information and registration for this meet will be emailed shortly, but put it on your calendar now!
In addition to the meet schedule changes, please see below for the practice changes and cancellations for September, 2009. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Coach Amy or our team president, Nichole Hocheder, by phone at 299-3000 or at tjccstingrays.
Thank you!
TJCC Stingrays Coaching Staff and Parent Board

This is destined to be an exciting, fun and successful season for the Stingray Families! Current enrollment is 96! Our coaching staff has been working to organize and sort kids into appropriate training groups based upon individual needs, etc. At this point, things seem to be settling down a bit and training will begin to increase on all levels. Please bring your swimmer as consistently to practices as possible to provide the best outcome for all involved (your swimmer and others in their group).
IMPORTANT ITEMS TO NOTE:
- Season Opener- 1st meet of season- info just went out via email.. READ IT PLEASE!
- ANIMAL SQUAD- team building event that encourages new NOVICE swimmers all the way up thru ADVANCED Sectional Qualifying swimmers to enjoy swimming this season. This information has also gone out via email- please read it as well and respond with entries.

FYI: Goal Sheets have gone out to our competitive training groups. Please take time to review them with your swimmer. These are question/answer sheets designed specifically for your child to determine at what level of commitment they are willing to make to achieve their goals and what they need from others (parents, teammates, etc). Your swimmer is 100% reliant upon you for the support he/she needs achieve the goals they’ve set out for themselves (ie. transportation, being on time, attending meets, availability of healthy meals and snacks, financial, etc). Everyones goals will be different and at different levels, but it is good to know your child’s aspirations regardless of what they maybe… puts you on the same page.
Thanks for sharing your kids with us…. we are honored to have each one of them!
Amy
