Each year the Stingrays host their very own ISHCMC Invitational. Over 400 swimmers travel from Thailand, Cambodia and from within Vietnam to attend this 2 day event. Swimmers enroll in 5 events and 2 relays, all with the common goal of getting their personal best time. There is also a much-anticipated coach/parents relay each year too!

Hosting a club swim meet is very important for a team. Strong communities are created when parents, coaches and volunteers all work together to reach a common goal. Parents also get the opportunity to know their swimmer’s teammates and other parents better and the satisfaction of helping out being positive role models for their children. Everyone gets to understand the sport better and the swimmers forge a strong team bond by all being involved.

The ISHCMC Invitational is the largest swim meet in Vietnam and is a big end of year highlight for the Stingrays family.

Synchronized swimming is a very beautiful sport, but requires some patience to learn it. The moves are very intricate, so our program starts with the basics. Swimmers will learn how do the egg beater and sculling to begin with. Once they develop these skills, they will be able to try more difficult moves.

Our instructor is very experienced and competed in the 2012 Asean Championship, where her team placed second overall. She is currently training for the 3rd SEA swimming championship, so we have limited opportunity to offer the Synchronized swimming program.

About the program:• 6 lessons of thirty minute lessons• 5 swimmers maximum• Cost is 1,000,000 VND

Program Dates:There will be two sessions from August until December.

We will be able to offer this program at two different times:1. 3:15 - 3:45pm2. 3:45 - 4:15pm

To register for the program, please contact the Aquatics office. Registration works on a first come, first served basis.
