Both the teams swim an average of 6 swim meets per season. Meets are held on Saturday mornings, with the exception of the Red vs Blue meet which will be held on a Thursday evening. Meets are early morning events, with swimmers needing to report to the meet at an early hour, i.e. around 6:00 AM. Meets are held so early because most teams must vacate their pools for public use by the early afternoon.

When Does Weather Affect Our Swim Season?
Two weather events cause practice delays or cancellation: Lightning (sighted or possibly near) and/or hard rain. If a lightning strike is seen, or if thundering is loud overhead, practice will be called for about 30 minutes. Coaches will take the swimmers to the pavilion to wait. Light rain without lightning is no problem; hard rain that prevents a swimmer from seeing the bottom of the pool will cause practice delays or cancellation.Used Fin Sale!
How about getting some quality used fins for only $10? The Steiner Stars is organizing a used fin sale just like we did at the end of the Stars season last year (which was a big success).
