Dear Stingrays,

The Chapel Hill Summer Swim League has decided to cancel swim meets for the 2020 summer. 

The league issued this statement:

"Due to the ongoing global pandemic, the Chapel Hill Summer Swim League will not be organizing summer swim meets [including champs] during the summer of 2020 to safeguard [the health] of athletes, parents, and coaches. Swimmers who swam in the 2019 [CHSSL] season whose final season of eligibility would have been 2020 will be allowed an additional year of eligibility to swim during the 2021 season."

We are sad to see the Summer Swim Season upended and know this was a difficult decision for the League. Still, the loss of the swim season is trivial in comparison to the impact the Coronavirus is having on so many people in the world, our state and our community.  We are in close communication with the Health Department which has been very assertive in establishing rules for public health.  We hope that should the Health Department clear swimming activities we can gather our Stingrays for some swimming activities in person and plan to conduct some virtual activities during the season.  Please remind your swimmers that although we are not going to see a traditional summer swim season in 2020, we are still still a team️.

Please note that if you have already registered for the season, you have been issued a full refund.
