Shafter Stingrays  

Bubble Blowers Group

This is our entry level group. An athlete need not be able to swim to enter this group.

Created in 2004, this program has been a successful addition to our swim team. It’s a 6-week program which starts on April 29 and ends June 8. Bubblers must be at least 4 years old by April 29 and be able to cooperate fully with the coaches. The class maintains a ratio of 6 swimmers to 1 coach, and each bubbler receives individualized instruction appropriate to their level of ability.
