Welcome to the Dulles Farms Devil Rays online registration for the 2023 summer swim season!

The process is simple for both new and returning members. You'll get access to your own private account that will enable you to easily declare for swim meets, sign up for jobs, see your children's swim records, maintain your own contact information, and more.

 

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Our Devil Rays competitive swim team is open to community residents* ages 5-18.

To swim competitively with the Devil Rays swim team, all new swimmers (including Mini Rays who did not compete by the end of last season) are required to pass swim evaluations based on the following:

• Swimmers, ages 8 & under, must be able to swim 25 meters (one length of the pool) on top of the water without touching the bottom or using the lane line for assistance. 
• Swimmers, ages 9 & above, must be able to swim 50 meters (two lengths of the pool) on top of the water without touching the bottom or using the lane line for assistance. 

Our preparatory Mini Rays program is open to community residents, ages 4 & above, who are not ready to swim competitively but aspire to do so. This program is designed for swimmers who have learned basic swimming skills (i.e., getting in and out of the pool safely, putting their face into the water and able to control breathing, floating on their back, treading water, etc.) and are ready for stroke development. These swimmers are comfortable in the water alone, and in a group setting, but aren’t able to make it all the way across the pool safely. 

* Residents are defined by the following:

• Dulles Farms Resident (swimmer resides in one of the four Dulles Farms’ sub-communities: Stratshire Crossing, Virginia Manor, Westridge, White Oak Crest)
• Non-Resident (swimmer resides outside of one of the four Dulles Farms’ sub-communities)

 

REGISTRATION FEES

	Dulles Farms Resident	Non-Dulles Farms Resident**
First Swimmer	$215	$240
Each Additional Swimmer	$195	$195

** Non-Dulles Farms Resident fees include an additional $25 per family.

Registration fees cover costs for coach salaries, ribbons, awards, team t-shirt, TeamUnify subscription, equipment, liability insurance, ODSL fees and social events including season-end banquet. 

All payments (minus the $200 volunteer fee) will be collected at the time of registration via credit/debit card. 

 

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS

Our swim team operates successfully because of the support and dedication from all families. Each family is required to complete volunteer obligations which are tracked via a point system (specific 2023 points will be determined once registration is closed). To hold families accountable, a $200 volunteer deposit, payable by check, must be submitted and will be held, uncashed, by the team to be returned upon completion of all volunteer hours. Your child will not be eligible to receive their team t-shirt or begin practice until the volunteer deposit is received.

Please make check payable to Dulles Farms Swim Team and either bring it to one of our start-of-season events (i.e., mandatory parent meeting, ice cream kick off, team pool party) or mail it to our team Treasurer, Kendra Venia, 25933 Windsor Gate Circle, Aldie VA 20105.
