Junior Rays Pre-swim Team ( ages 5+)
The Junior Rays team and waitlist are full for the 2024-2025 season! Please check back in late August for info on tryouts for 2025-2026.
Start the transition from lessons to competition for those interested in pursuing swimming as a sport. Focus on technique and learn all four competitive strokes in a team environment. Compete in on-site time trials. Prerequisites: Must be able to confidently swim 25 continuous yards (one length) each of freestyle and backstroke, and take direction in a group of 10 - 12 swimmers from a coach who is usually on-deck. Swimmers must demonstrate side-breathing in freestyle, as well as out-of-water arm recovery and continuous horizontal body position in both strokes.
Quarterly tryouts, if space is available, are in late September, December, and March, with swimmers starting the first of the next month. Contact Head Coach Jennie Condon at jcondon@oregonjcc.org with any questions or to get on the waitlist.
After September tryouts, waitlisted swimmers will have first priority for tryouts in subsequent quarters. Please do not sign up for the waitlist unless your swimmer fully intends to take the next available spot, regardless of time of year. Because we limit our waitlists to the number of swimmers we believe we will be able to accommodate in the next 12 months, swimmers who elect not to use their spot are taking opportunities away from others. We are happy to chat with you beforehand or have you come and visit so we can make sure it will be a good fit!
Junior Rays will return in the fall; check back here in August for tryout info!
Monday - Thursday, 4:45 pm - 5:30 pm
Cost: $130/month. Member Cost: $110/month.
Stingrays USA Swimming Team (ages 6-18)
The Stingrays team and waitlist are full for the 2024-2025 season! Please check back in late August for info on tryouts for 2025-2026.
The Stingrays Swim Team is a fun and challenging way to keep active and build confidence. Swimmers at all levels will work on technique and stamina, goal setting and lifetime fitness habits. As part of USA Swimming, the team will participate in regular meets in the Portland Metro area and swimmers at all levels have the opportunity to compete with swimmers of their own age and ability.
Our swim team tryout consists of swimming 100 continuous yards (four lengths) each of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. Swimmers should demonstrate a basic understanding of the technique and rhythm of all three strokes. Breaststroke should show the correct cycle and an effort towards the correct kick but does not have to be legal. Silver swimmers (our second level) must have a legal breaststroke and know some butterfly.

Quarterly tryouts, if space is available, are in late September, December, March, and June, with swimmers starting the first of the next month. Contact Head Coach Jennie Condon at jcondon@oregonjcc.org with any questions.
After September tryouts, waitlisted swimmers will have first priority for tryouts in subsequent quarters. Please do not sign up for a tryout or for the waitlist unless your swimmer fully intends to take the next available spot, regardless of time of year. Because we limit our waitlists to the number of swimmers we believe we will be able to accommodate in the next 12 months, swimmers on the waitlist who elect not to use their spot are taking opportunities away from others. We are happy to chat with you beforehand or have you come and visit so we can make sure it will be a good fit!
