Sycamore Stingrays Swim Team, also known as SSST, offers a summer swimming program for youth between the ages of 5 and 18. Our goal is to provide a rewarding program for all swimmers, from the youngest to the oldest and from the beginner to the County Qualifier. We work together to succeed as a team and we measure personal success through individual improvement. We believe that when any swimmer improves and has a feeling of accomplishment, everyone wins!

SSST is one of eight teams in the Valley Swim Association (VSA) League. The other teams in our league are Blackhawk HOX, Crow Canyon Country Club Sea Lions, Danville Station Seadevils, Del Amigo Dolphins, Diablo Country Club Sharks, and the Roundhill Heat. Our swimmers participate in time trials, dual meets, invitationals, non-league meets, and a season-ending League Championship Meet.

Those of you new to the swim team experience will find that it is a truly rewarding sport an fun community activity. It’s an activity that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. The Stingrays experience combines the best qualities of an individual sport with all the benefits of a team sport. Workouts are designed to include specific goals and objectives. Of course, stroke technique is emphasized. We don't just swim laps! Instead, the swimmer is encouraged to master stroke technique, gain strength and endurance, be self-disciplined, set realistic goals and develop good sportsmanship all the while making new friends of all ages. We believe summer swimming should be fun! Our program includes everything: instruction, swim meets, group outings, children's activities, family functions, awards and incentives. We look forward to a great season! Welcome to our program and celebrate summer with the Sycamore Stingrays Swim Team!
