I CHEER FOR MY TEAM
The Stonegate Serpents Swim Team is a member of the Montgomery County Swim League. The league currently consists of 91 teams in 15 divisions ("A" through "O") with six teams in each division (except Division O which has seven teams). Division assignments are based upon the previous season's swimmer times.
The Stonegate Serpents competed in Division A in 2023. Swimmers showed up and swam hard! I BELIEVE! We are once again in Division A for 2024, and our coaches anticipate another FUN season as we square off against the fastest pools in the county.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Stonegate Serpents Swim Team is to encourage formal but friendly team competition through the Montgomery County Swim League during the summer. We seek to create a fair and wholesome environment in order to develop swimming skills, encourage sportsmanship and teamwork, and foster an appreciation of the relationship between effort and success.
