A few of their favorite things

Several families were requesting a list of the coaches favorite things in case you’d like to treat them to something special as a thank you. Here is the list. As a reminder, our banquet is next Wednesday, July 22nd at 5:30 pm.
Bring chairs, blankets and an appetite. It is a fun night of celebrating. We will also have the swimmer file box out loaded with ribbons and medals.
For the potluck, we are requesting the following:
Last Names A-L: side dish / Last Names M-Z: Dessert
The coaches will be dressed to impress and many of the swimmers like to dress up too. For everyone else, flip flops and t-shirts are excellent choices. This is a non-swimming event.

Final League Entries

Here are the final league entries. Thanks to everyone who looked them over and made adjustments. I made a few more clerical changes this morning.

Here are the relay entries. If you are swimming an individual event you are likely swimming a relay and/or will be an alternate. We can score lots of points with relays so our goal was to make as many as we could. EDIT The free relays are first on Sunday! I went through and renumbered the entries.

Weekly Update July 12th, 2026

League info- All call for volunteers; Team Banquet on July 22nd; Team Movie Night on July 31st

Congratulations to many swimmers cutting time and making League times this weekend. Congratulations to all swimmers for a fantastic season and for all Gator families making this a great summer swim season.

Be sure to check the blog sidebar for All League Entries. There is a team deadline for Monday evening and late entries/changes cannot be made after the deadline. We will need lots of volunteers to help make League a success. Our main request is timing– help the board out and sign up early so that we don’t have to spend our Friday hunting you down 🙂 Many hands make light work!
Practice schedule for League swimmers is the usual time for this week, including night practices for upper-division.
Come cheer on your Gator 400 Free swimmers Friday evening at the 6th Avenue West Pool. We have 11 swimmers- the largest number of swimmers in the League- and all are welcome to come cheer them on.

Parking on Saturday and Sunday. Parking for families and spectators will be located in the Jefferson County Human Services and Laramie parking lots directly to the west of Illinois Street and above the Splash. Families are
welcome to drop their swimmers and supplies off at the pool entrance in accordance with directed traffic flow. Absolutely NO PARKING at Fossil Trace Golf Course or the Jefferson County Open Space equipment lot. Violators will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.

Team Banquet: We hope all our Gator families will join us in a night of celebration. The event begins at 5:30. We will have awards, certificates, ribbons, trophies, medals and more! The team will provide pizza and water/lemonade. Each family should bring a dish to share….
Last Names A-L: side dish / Last Names M-Z: Dessert.

Reminder to sign up for the Guest List for Team Movie Night. Your name will need to be on the list in order to gain entrance into the pool for this event but all Gator families are welcome. We just need a head count so they can plan appropriately for staffing.
