We are looking forward to a fun kickoff on Friday, though the weather may be challenging again. We hope to get swimmers in for some fun relays, but please be prepared for changes and bring warm clothes in case of wind or a lightning delay.

Thank you to everyone who has signed up for volunteer shifts on Saturday. As a reminder, the swim team board is entirely volunteer-run, and we could still use help during the final shift with timing, runners, computer entry, and pool cleanup. Please consider taking on one of these shifts if you are able to stick around. The meet should wrap up around 11:30 and we need to have to pool ready for members at noon.

Afternoon practices. Season kickoff. First home meet

We will have afternoon practices again this week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 4-5pm & 5-6pm.

Friday, May 29th 6-7pm we will have a fun season kickoff. Swimmers will meet their buddies and do some fun team building activities, including relays so bring suits and towels. We will also have our team suits for pickup if you ordered them for the season.

Saturday, May 30th. Home meet versus the 6th Avenue Stingrays. 6:00 am warm-up for 13 and up, 6:15 am for 12 and under. Meet starts at 7:00 am. Click here for volunteer shifts– we can’t run the meet without timers or heating shed help so be sure to check out those shifts- don’t worry, we’ll teach you how.
Sign up for events will be posted on our team board and available until Thursday after practices. A reminder that swimmers who have not paid will not be able to swim on Saturday so be sure to make payment as soon as possible.

We will have practice available this evening for both sessions due to warmer air and water temperatures. It is still cold, however, so please be prepared with extra towels and warm clothes. Depending on conditions and how they change, practices may be shorter than usual.

Some of practice will be held outside of the pool so be sure to wear warm clothes and shoes. We look forward to seeing you!

Unfortunately we will not be holding swim practice this evening. The predicted low outdoor temperatures with windchill and potential cold pool temperatures suggest uncomfortable if not unsafe practice conditions. We were looking forward to getting started, but don’t want to risk harm.

As of now the forecast looks a little bit better for tomorrow (5/19) so I am not ready to call it yet. Please check back tomorrow before you leave for practice for updates.

Swimsuit orders due today (5/17). First week of practice 5/18-21. Volunteer opportunities posted.

Colorado is doing its Colorado thing. We’ll wait to make the call for tomorrow’s first practice 5/18 (at the Green Mountain Swim Club). If we make any cancellations, it will be posted here. Please refresh this page prior to leaving for practice . 4-5pm is 10 and under and 5-6pm is for 11 and up.

We will have our new parent meeting at 5pm at the pool to cover meets, events, volunteer expectations, etc.

Volunteer shifts are now posted on the sidebar. Meets take many volunteers to run smoothly and the team has an expectation that all families take on at least five shifts throughout the season. Here is the link to our first meet on 5/30.

Last Spring Clinic 5/16. Swim tryouts for NEW 8 and unders 5/16 @ Carmody Rec Center 3-4 pm.
One week until summer season! We will have two weeks of afternoon practices because of the Jeffco school calendar. 5/18-5/21 & 5/26-28 @ Green Mountain Swim Club (yes it’s outdoors, the pool is a warm 82 degrees and ready for swimmers).
Swimsuit orders are due May 17th. See the sidebar for ordering information.
To expedite the check-in process before your swimmer begins practice, you can pay via Venmo @GreenMtnGators or bring a check to clinic on Saturday. We will only have a credit card option on 5/18 or 5/20 so please plan accordingly.
