🌊🩵 STINGRAYS TAKE ST. JOHN 🩵🌊

Today our Stingrays traded lane lines for open water and took on the Beach to Beach Power Swim in St. John, USVI — and what a day it was.

With 9 Stingrays competing across all three distances in both assisted and unassisted divisions, our swimmers showed grit, courage, sportsmanship, and some seriously impressive results. But beyond podium finishes, what made today special was watching athletes challenge themselves, take on new distances, and support one another from start to finish.

🌊 3 Mile Unassisted (Maho → Hawksnest)
🥇 1st Overall & 1st Female — Reagan Uszenski — 1:19:14

🩵 And a special shoutout to Olivia Stevens who completed her very first 1-mile open water swim today. No podium needed—taking on your first mile in the ocean is a huge accomplishment, and we are so proud of your courage and determination out there. 🌊👏

From long-distance strategy to first-time milestones, these athletes represented STSA with heart and determination.

Pool swimmers. Ocean warriors. Stingrays. 🩵🔥
