Farmington Family YMCA Stingrays :: Everybody Swims! Everybody Wins!
Description
Farmington Family YMCA Stingrays was formed in August, 1997. Created through the merger of the Michigan Stingray Swim Association (MSSA) and the Farmington Family YMCA Devil Ray (FDR) swim team, FFYS brought together two of the longest traditions in amateur swimming in the state of Michigan.
Michigan Stingray Swim Association was one of the oldest teams in Michigan Swimming, the Local Swim Committee of United States Swimming. Its history extends over 30 years with many team State Championships and many individual State and National champions. Michigan Stingray Swim Association swimmers still hold 15 individual and 4 relay state records. MSSA had proven itself to be a trainer of high-level swimmers.
The Farmington Family YMCA Devil Ray swim team, began in the early 1970's. The Devil Rays were among the strongest Y swim teams in Michigan. In the mid-1990's the FDR team found themselves with a solid base of young swimmers. Its caring attitude and nurturing environment proved to be a great opportunity for novice and developing swimmers.
