| Welcome to our Website We hope you find the information in this site both informative and enjoyable. |
| Team Philosophy TFS coaches and staff seek to provide a safe, competitive experience for swimmers as they develop proper technique, set and attain personal goals, learn self-discipline and practice good sportsmanship. We think of ourselves as a "family". We have fun, enjoy each other's company and hopefully win some meets in the process. Personal development is what we stress. In swimming jargon, that means improving personal times. Establishing a healthy environment that encourages kids to do their best, recognizes their contributions to the team and is fun for the entire family - these are the goals of Team Fernandina Stingrays. We stress "low stress" and no pressure. |
| Pool Location We practice and hold our home swim meets at the Fernandina Beach Recreation Center at 2500 Atlantic Avenue, Fernandina Beach FL 32034 |
| Team Fernandina Stingrays (TFS) is a swim team open to boys and girls between 4 and 18 years old and are able to swim. (see Membership).

We start practicing in April of each year and have 6 to 7 swim meets (home and away) starting the end of May / beginning of June and finishing the middle of July. Championship meet is held at the end of July and we finish the season with an award banquet. We do also practice and have stroke and conditioning clinics in the winter before spring training. |
