Details:
Intrasquad: Just like last time, this is with our team only. Swimmers can sign up for a maximum of 3 events and there will not be any relays. Sign up here to volunteer: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090D4DABAC28A1FF2-57011700-intrasquad2#/
GMST vs. Wheatridge: This is our last home meet! Everything will be on the road from here on out, so make sure you are checking the side bar for times and addresses moving forward. Sign up to volunteer here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090D4DABAC28A1FF2-57012864-gmst#/
Pentathlon: You must have qualifying times to swim in this race. Please speak to your age division coach and they can let you know. We will need 9 timers, so most families will need to step up if you plan to be there. Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090D4DABAC28A1FF2-56899827-pentathlon#/
Pictures and Pancakes: Our friend and local Photographer, Alex Hearn, will be with our team to take a Big Team photo, as well as individual photos if you would like that for your kids. We ask that everyone wear their team suit (or black or green suit) if you can. Pictures will start at 7:30am and a pancake breakfast will follow. We will not have practice on picture day. We do need help with this event, so please see the sign up sheet here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090D4DABAC28A1FF2-56900057-gator#/
Water World: This portion of the day is optional (as our most things on our team) and follows the pancake breakfast. We have discounted tickets available to purchase and all swimmers need to have their own rides. We will pick a spot for the team to meet up (more detailed information will be posted) and generally all families/kids just come and go throughout the park and have a fun day. Many of the kids wear their team suits, so it’s fun to see Gators throughout the park. The link for tickets is on the side bar or click here: https://calypsoclub.waterworldcolorado.com/affiliate
Does your swimmer want to be an Iron Gator? We want it for them too! In order to earn the Iron Gator Award your swimmer has to get a qualifying time in every event available for their age division. They don’t have to win, they just have to swim and not DQ! We love to encourage all swimmers to try all the races. We know it’s hard. That’s why it’s the Iron Gator Award. Talk to your coach if you have questions. They would be happy to sign your kid up for an IM to complete the list 🙂
