Details:
Morning Practices: We have a very big team and may adjust practices times based on how crowded each age group is. As of today our practice times are:
– 6:30 am – 8:00 am: 13 and older
– 8:00am – 9:00 am: 10-12 years
– 9:00 am – 10:00 am: 9 and under
Intrasquad #1: This is our first meet of the season with just our team and it is a good way to shake out all the kinks and make sure that we are all ready (swimmers and volunteers) for the rest of the season.
-warm up: 4:30pm / start 5:00pm
Sign up to volunteer: click here – we are currently short 23 people to make the meet run efficiently. (18 of those are timers and we won’t start the meet if we don’t have timers)
– Pizza + Gator gear: We will have pizza, nachos and other snacks to purchase along with a new batch of Gator swag. You won’t want to miss it!
–Old team suits: if you have an old team suit that no longer fits and is in good condition, please drop it by the Gator Gear area. We hate those suits to go to waste and someone on the team could definitely put it to use.
Tie-Dye & Ice Cream Party: (5:30pm – 7pm) This is a fun event that the swimmers look forward to every year. We will have white Gator shirts and tank tops for purchase that you can tie-dye, or you can bring your own item. Parents and siblings are welcome to join in. THIS IS A NON-SWIMMING EVENT. We will be on the back lawn with dye buckets in our team colors and will have tie-dye assistants if you don’t know what you are doing. We will then hop your kids up on sugar and can answer any lingering questions about the swim season.
GMST vs. GEN: (6am – 11:30-ish) This is our first dual meet of the season. It is at our pool and as always, we need lots of volunteers!
– warm up: 6:00am / start: 7:00 am
– sing up to volunteer: click here – we are currently short 29 people.
– Food and gear: we will have breakfast burritos, pancakes, donuts, coffee, hot chocolate and more! We will also have our awesome Gator Gear to purchase.
– A note for new parents: we will have a team tent area that your kids can set up in or they are welcome to sit with you. Lot of kids bring sleeping bags and/or blankets. Make sure you have lots of towels (preferably 1/event that they are in), water, sunblock and snacks.
