Gator Feast

WOW!!!!

I think I am more impressed than tired, and that is saying a lot. The weekend started out on a great note with the meet against AAC. I am not only proud of all the swimmers who swam great and only lost to AAC by 11 points, but I am also proud to say that once again the Gator parents demonstrated how smooth a big meet can go. I can’t believe how fast we were out of there yesterday, a BIG thank you to all who helped.

Next I have to say I have never seen such a great performance at the pentathlon than the one I saw today. I special congratulations to second place over all finishers Kim, Inez, Ethan, and Ianna and to all third place finishers Olivia and Alex, (Note Alex took off 15 seconds in a his 50 Fly (that is not a typo 15 seconds) ). I would also like to congratulate all the other swimmers, there are too many to name who swam great and most of them made top six over all.

This weeks schedule
Monday: Regular Practice (Note even pentathlon swimmers should try and come)
Tuesday: Pictures and Pancakes followed by Water World
Wednesday: No Practice
Thursday: No Morning Practice, there will be night practice from 8-9pm

The Heat Is On

Gators,

Hope all of you are staying cool, Maybe taking a dip or two in the swamp. Don’t forget to sign up for the meet against AAC by tomorrow. Also I forgot to tell you yesterday to sign up the Pentathlon on Sunday if you want to swim it. For those of you who are new or just don’t know what a Pentathlon is each swimmer swims all five events Fly, Back, Breast, Free and IM then your time is added up and the fastest time wins. 8 and unders swim 25’s and a 100 IM, 9-12 swim 50’s and 100 IM and 13-18 Swim 100’s and 200 IM. You have to have B times in at least 3 of the five events to swim. Let me know if you have any questions.

Coach Rich

Great Weekend

Congratulations to all who swam and made it through the long weekend. The coaches are extremely proud of the way you all swam and represented the team. We finished Ken Caryl in 6th place just two points from 5th and very close to 3rd, I think we can beat some of the teams that beat us at state. On Sunday several swimmers swam well and qualified for either league or state.  We will get the meet results and best times links updated as soon as possible.

Now looking ahead to Saturday we are hosting AAC at the Swamp, last year we almost beat them so lets get as many swimmers to sign up as possible and see if we can’t knock them off their apple tree. We started sign up today, if you plan on swimming please sign up by Wednesday.
