WELCOME

The Stillwater Starz is a developmental summer swim team and a member of the Naperville Swim Conference (NSC). A volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to develop confident, capable young swimmers and foster a love of competitive swimming in a safe, supportive, and fun environment.

Our swimmers range from 4-18 years of age, and most are residents of the Stillwater subdivision and other nearby communities in southwest Naperville, Plainfield, and Oswego. For our youngest swimmers, their time on the Starz is often their first experience with competitive swimming. It’s also where many of our returning swimmers, some of whom now swim year-round in club and school programs, got their start. Join us this summer, and find out what fun you can have when we shoot for the Starz together!

Early Bird Pricing Ends TODAY and Other Deadlines

Lea Fortkamp

Good Morning, Starz Families!

 

This morning’s message includes several upcoming dates you’ll want to keep in mind as we inch ever closer to the start of the swim season.

 

TODAY: Early Bird Registration Ends

Today is the last day to register your swimmer at the Starz’ discounted Early Bird rates. Don’t miss out on the savings and spread the word to friends who might be interested. Tomorrow, registration rates will increase. We’ll also transition to our 2025 email list in May, so if you’d like to continue receiving updates on the coming season, register for the summer swim season HERE today.

 

TODAY: Discounted Water Polo Pricing Ends at Nearby River Run

For Starz families who are interested in water polo, several Starz swimmers participate in summer polo through River Run. Water polo practices and games are scheduled around summer swim practices and meets, and there is NO parent work requirement for water polo. Since this is not a Stillwater program, this will be the only reminder you'll receive about summer water polo; further updates will be provided to registered water polo participants by River Run. If your swimmer is interested in learning the basics of the game, click HERE to learn more and register.

 

TODAY: Custom Cap Ordering Ends

While each Starz swimmer will receive a latex team cap with registration, many choose to order additional personalized caps with their names from our team store. Girls especially often prefer silicone caps because they tug on hair less. TODAY is the last day for ordering personalized caps. Order yours through our team store, HERE. The team store will remain open for other orders (suits, gear, and spirit wear orders) through May 14.

 

TUESDAY, MAY 20: Meet the Coaches Night and Jobs Signup Opens

Mark your calendars for our next team event, Meet the Coaches Night and Family Orientation. This event is for swimmers AND their parents. You'll get to know the coaches, enjoy a pizza dinner, discuss the season, and learn all about the jobs signup process. 

Jobs signup will open following this event, so if you're new to the team or unclear on the jobs signup process or expectations, this is an event you won't want to miss! Register to attend this event HERE. Swimmer meals are included in the cost of registration; please be sure to add ALL registered swimmers who will be eating to your registration cart before checking out. If adults or siblings would like to eat, too, additional meals can be purchased when you register.

 

That’s it for today! Have a great week and think summer!
