It means that you are responsible for buying tickets, driving your kids/family to Water World and then generally having a fun day at the park. We will have a meet up spot where all Gators can put down their things, run into each other over lunch and have a home base. (Click here for map of meet-up spot). There are no formal activities and you are free to do what/when you want at the park, all while running into Gator swimmers and families.

Entries are posted on the sidebar. They are due by 4pm so if there are any questions or changes please email ethan.schick@gmail.com to make changes before 4pm (if you see C/D entries that are slightly different, it means you got a B time at the meet today so you can’t swim that event at the C/D meet.
