100% Swimming PracticesUPDATE (9/8/23)*
*These swim sessions are full. You may contact the coaches listed below to be on the waitlist.

(ages 12+ with strong swim skills)
100 Percent swimming was created as an alternative to a full commitment and higher costs that comes with some club swimming.   We will practice 3 days a week at the Green Mountain Rec Center on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Practice will start on Monday Sept  11 and go through the last week of October.  If your swimmer is of high school age and swimming on a team then practice for you would end after that first week in November.  The purpose of this is to keep swimmers in shape and focus on technique over typical non-swimming months.  The design is a no nonsense practice with no commitment to weekends.  There are no expectations of practices you need to make, but hopefully you make the commitment to make a majority of the practices.  There will not ever be more than 5 swimmers per lane which means that this will be capped at the first 20 swimmers on a first come first serve basis so if you are interested please contact me soon.  

  • Practice starting on Monday Sept 11th – Thursday Nov 2nd.  Times are TBD but expect 7-8ish
  •  Strong swimmers age 12  and up with the expectation that a swimmer is comfortable with swimming roughly 1600 meters in one hour. 
  • Swimmers must have swim experience.  We will practice technique, but this is not a learn to swim setting
  • Knowing all strokes is a benefit, but not required
  • The cost includes facility rental, coaches pay and insurance.  250 dollars is a non refundable fee regardless of how many practices you can make per week

Coaches – Tim Campbell, Ryan Adams and Jim Murphy
Please feel free to contact me or coach Adams with any questions tbcampbe@jeffcoschools.us or rjadams@jeffcoschools.us

Swimmer Files

Thank you Gator families for such a wonderful summer swim season. It feels a little sad that it’s over, but we’ve got Fall and Spring Clinics to fill the void. (Stay tuned for detail).

The swimmer file box has been moved into the Lifeguards office at the pool. Why do you care?
– If you missed the banquet, your swimmer has items waiting for them.
– If you were at the banquet, but didn’t get your stuff, head to the pool!
– If you were at State, your medals/ribbons are in!
– If you are a male in the upper division, you will for sure ignore this. Send your parent to the pool!

See you next summer (if not earlier). Go Gators!

Team Banquet + State Week

Week of 7/24 (as we wind down and also ramp up!) Congrats to our League Swimmers! Well done everyone.

Banquet: We have our end of the season Team Banquet on Wednesday night (rain or shine). This is a wonderful time to honor all our swimmers and reward them for their hard work this season. 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.
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. If you cannot make the banquet, please let us know and we will make sure your swimmer file is updated with any awards your swimmer couldn’t pick up that night.

State Meet:
Entries for State are due on Monday by noon. If your swimmer is qualified and can’t swim, please let the coaches know ASAP. The age groups and times of the events are a little strange this year, so please check the right side of the blog for your swimmers day/time/location to stay up to date. We will need timers for the meet at each session. I will post the sign-up genius as soon as we are given our team assignments.

Meet Location: Ken Caryl Pool
7676 S Continental Divide Littleton 80127
Facility: 8 Lane Pool, 25 Short Course Meters, Outdoors

Meet Results: They will be using SwimTopia to run the meet. (This is different than Simmingly that was used at our AAC meet). Our team does not use SwmTopia, but we can still use the app as a guest. Please use the link below to access further information. They will also post results on StateMeet.com and all results will be posted to the Gator blog (per usual).

League Psych and Timeline

Linked below are the psych sheets and and timeline for Friday and Saturday. Be aware that the timeline is computer generated sand does not account for any DQ pauses, or timer marches for 25’s, so the farther into the meet, the less accurate it is, but it will serve as a good baseline. Also, a psych sheet is not a heat sheet, it only shows predicted placement based on seed times.
