Summer Lifeguard Hours

The Fairbrae Manta Ray Swim Team provides an opportunity for swimmers age 5 through 18 to develop their swimming skills, sportsmanship and fellowship. With the Manta Rays you will find a supportive team environment, low-key competition and positive attitudes.

The swim season runs from late April (when group practice starts) through late July. A practice meet kicks off league competition in early June followed by four or five meets during the season.  The season culminates with a championship meet and an end of season awards banquet the same evening. Training is also provided for parents to teach time keeping, scoring, judging, and other tasks associated with running a swim meet.

Manta Ray families also enjoy a number of social events throughout the season. Events include team dinners, a team overnight, and a team outing. “Fun Friday” socials are hosted by swim team families throughout the season and are a nice way to relax and get to know each other while the kid’s workout.

Thank you for contacting the Manta Rays Registrar, 2024 season.

Aaron Johnson: Hello I’m Aaron, a swim instructor based in Sunnyvale. I have over 28 years experience teaching swimming to kids and adults. My students typically improve very quickly,   whether they are complete beginners or need refinement with their swimming technique. 

I customize each lesson to the needs of you. I’m a teacher in my professional career with lots of experience with special needs students. I know swimming can be a fearful  experience for many, but with my patience and encouraging teaching style I always see lots of improvement. I emphasize proper swimming technique, as that is how one  excels in the water. I prefer one-on-one swim lessons, but under certain circumstances I can teach a joint lesson. I like to start teaching around age 4 and up. That includes  includes adults. 
Contact: I prefer people to text me at my cell number: (408) 529-8700
