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
