WOW! What a start!

I just got home from our first intra-squad meet and I can’t believe how fast all of the gators swam. I don’t recall ever seeing so many state/league qualification times in the very first meet. I don’t have any official times yet but it looks like Ben Hofstra broke a 12 year old team record in the 8 and under 25 fly. So if you see him tell him congrats. Remember warm-up is at 6:00 am on Saturday where we can show off in front of AKST.

Coach Rich

Congrats to everyone on a successful first morning practice. I was really impressed with the attendance early this morning although I noticed a few faces were missing. I won’t call out names till next week.

If you came today you should have signed up for today’s intra-squad and Saturday’s meet. If you missed today don’t worry. You can show up to either meet and deck enter. All you need to do is show up to the meet and talk to a coach. (Please try and show up early. That way we can take care of you before warm up.)

I look forward to seeing all of you tonight. Please try and get there by 5:20 warm up starts at 5:30 and we will be having an important parent meeting at 6:00 so please be there.

Coach Rich

Hello Gators,

So we are a week into the season and things are starting to get moving. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will not be able to have afternoon practice because the club will be opening for open swim at 1:00. So today was our last after school practice on Thursday we will begin morning practices. I know most of you can’t wait to spend all or those beautiful sunrises in the water. Below is a list of practice times starting Thursday.

6:30-8:00am 13 year olds and up
8:00-9:00am 9-12 year olds
9:00-9:45am 8 and under

Also on Thursday we will be holding our first intra-squad meet. Swimmers can swim up to three events and can either pick up cards at practice on Thursday or before the intra-squad meet. There will also be a parent meeting before the meet starts so please try and be they by 6:00pm.

We will be sighing up swimmers for Saturdays meet at practice on Thursday and Friday.

Enjoy sleeping in while you can.

Coach Rich

So these afternoon practices are often affected by the weather and today looks like thunderstorms are likely. So if it is lightning we will most likely not be getting in but if you have any questions about the status of practice please feel free to call me at 303-921-1767.

Dear Gators,
