StingWrays Swim Team

Who Are We?

The Wray Swim Team is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving kids’ swimming abilities while inspiring them to do their best as they compete. In 2017, we celebrated our 40th year. We are run by our members and managed by a board of volunteer parents. Our head coach is team founder, Mary Ann Stults; she is assisted by Gwen West and Brooklynn Lenz.

Our Season

Our 2023 season will run from Mid-May through Mid-July. Practices begin May 15 for returning swimmers and TBD for new swimmers. We welcome swimmers from ages 5-18.
