Hello NUSC Stingrays!

I am so excited to be rejoining the Stingrays for the 2026 season! For those of you who aren’t familiar with me, my name is Eboni McCarty. I was a swimmer at the University of Georgia from 2021 through 2025. I competed at both NCAAs and SECs all four years, and my main events were the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke. I coached the Stingrays during the 2025 season, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to come back for another year.
Before we get into the upcoming season, I have a few things I’d like to share with everyone.

First, registration is officially open! Just go to https://nusc.swimtopia.com/
and click on the blue button at the top of the page.

Second, my expectations for this season: this is summer league, and I want all of us to have fun racing, training, and enjoying each other’s company. At the same time, I want to create an environment that encourages kindness, sportsmanship, honesty, engagement, curiosity, and overall respect for not only me, but your teammates as well. If we abide by these standards we should have a great summer season!

Lastly, I am looking for assistant coaches for the upcoming season.
Below, I will provide Lisa’s Panarese email address. If you are interested, please email Mrs. Lisa a paragraph (5–7 sentences) explaining why you would like to be an assistant coach this year. Once we have reviewed all submissions, we will conduct interviews.
Please note that this opportunity is only available to those who are freshmen in high school or older.
I’m looking forward to an awesome season!
All the best,

Eboni McCarty
