Zingrays return

In partnership with Zarzaur Law, P.A., the YMCA of Northwest Florida is excited to announce the third season of the Zarzaur Law “Zingrays” developmental swim team.

This team will provide a developmental opportunity for swimmers who have basic competence in the water but may not be ready for a competitive school or community team, or for families who may not be able to afford a traditional swim team. The team is under the direction of Regional Aquatics Director, Bonnie Steffensmeier.

“Swimmers are required only to be able to swim safely across the pool to join the team.” Said Steffensmeier “The swimmers will then continue to grow not only in their confidence in the pool but also in supporting their teammates and instilling safety and sportsmanship.”

The 40-member team, made up of swimmers 4–18 years old, will practice at the Hunter Pool. Because of Zarzaur Law, P.A.’s sponsorship the cost to families is just $100 for the summer. Additional financial assistance is available from the YMCA on a sliding scale if that fee is still out of reach.

“We are very proud to continue our support of this developmental YMCA swim team,” Joe Zarzaur, founder, and lead attorney at Zarzaur Law, P.A., said. “The Zarzaur Law Zingrays team allows all participants to grow and accomplish more than they ever thought they could, no matter their skill or economic level.”

Members of the Zarzaur Law, P.A. Triathlon team will also volunteer and assist with the Zarzaur Law Zingrays. The mission of the Zarzaur Law triathlon team is to serve as ambassadors for the sport of triathlon and to volunteer in community for various philanthropic causes.
