100% Swim will happen this fall. 
Starting September 8 we will practice 3 days a week Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for one hour from 7:45-8:45 pm.  If you have reached out, you are in; we do have a few spots left.  We are a no-nonsense swim team, we don’t take attendance, nor offer partial membership.  The cost is $250 per swimmer.  This covers coaching, pool rental and insurance.  Again we are looking for strong swimmers that want to keep momentum from summer into the fall.  We will cap numbers at 20 to keep lane size manageable.  Three coaches provide a different nightly experience for your kids with over 60 years combined experience.  Please reach out: Tbcampbe@jeffcoschools.us

REGISTER HERE! We were able to work it out with Green Mountain Rec Center to host our Fall Clinic so we’ve shifted back to Saturdays 3:00-4:00 pm, beginning Sat., Sept. 13th. We will add an additional hour depending on registration numbers and will let families know by Sat., Sept. 6th. Registration will be available beginning on Sat., Aug. 16th by clicking on the hyperlink on the side bar of the GM Gators blog.

Fall Clinic fee: $125 for Current Gator Swimmers
$150 for New Gator Swimmers
*We cannot pro-rate sessions based on attendance. We must rent the pool and pay for coaching based on registration. Payment must be made at swimmers’ first session in order to honor a spot for them.
*Reminder, your swimmer should not be a drowning risk or need support of the in-water coaches the entire time they are in the pool. Your swimmer should reasonably be able to swim the length of the pool, regardless of speed or technique. New swimmers will be evaluated during the first session to ensure safety of all swimmers.

Hey Gator Families. If you have a 12 and older swimmer that is looking to swim but doesn’t want to join a year-round club, we have an alternative for you. Please read below….

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 8 and go through the last week of October. 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. Cost is 250 covers 24 practices with coaching.

Practice starting on Monday Sept 8th – Thursday Oct 30th. Times are TBD but it looks like it could be from 4 – 5.
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

Our final team event will be a team movie night on Wednesday 7/30 from 8:30pm – 10:15pm-ish for team movie night. This is a non-swimming event and is for our swim team only + siblings and/or parents. Swimmers are encouraged to bring blankets and pillows for a cozy night. – Please do not show up before 8:15pm. The lifeguards need time to clear the grounds and pick up before we head in. – Parents are welcome to stay or drop off and return around 10:00pm.
