ππ©΅ STINGRAYS TAKE ST. JOHN π©΅π
Today our Stingrays traded lane lines for open water and took on the Beach to Beach Power Swim in St. John, USVI β and what a day it was.
With 9 Stingrays competing across all three distances in both assisted and unassisted divisions, our swimmers showed grit, courage, sportsmanship, and some seriously impressive results. But beyond podium finishes, what made today special was watching athletes challenge themselves, take on new distances, and support one another from start to finish.
