due to the pool being closed, there will be no night practice tonight

The pool will be closed for a few days. We do not have a date for re-opening.

PRACTICES:  all practices will be held at Green Mountain Rec the remainder of the week. The times have changed. Please see below for your age group.

Wednesday 7/10 & Thursday 7/11 @ Green Mountain Rec (Night Practices- all age groups) Please meet outside the rec center on the lawn between the pickle ball courts and the pool.  Please come dressed in your swim suits with shoes and dry land training clothes on top of your suits. These will tight practices with quick turn-around times and we don’t want to see kids waste 20 minutes in the locker rooms between transitions.

INTRASQUAD:  The Wednesday meet has been cancelled.  However, we are trying to re-schedule for Monday night. This is TBD, so stay tuned.

SATURDAY MEET v. GENESSE:   Our meet has been moved to Golden for a Tri-meet with Golden and AAC.  Genesse will be going to Wheatridge for a tri-meet with other teams. I will update the sign up genius once we know our responsibilities.  Warm up time is TBD.

The pool was temporarily closed tonight due to the cloudy nature of the water.  We will not be allowed to swim until further notice. 

It’s Gator week, so we got this!  We will be doing dry land training at practice.  Same practice times, same location, different shoes. (as in, wear shoes, along with your workout clothes).

Hey Parents! It’s your time to show off your swimming skills to our gator-athletes. Or flop around, look silly, and give the gator kids a good laugh.  — We are looking for 4 to 8 parents that are willing to be on a relay team to race the coaches at the end of our last Intrasquad Meet (this Wednesday 7/10).  Bring your suit and check in with Danielle when you get to the meet.  THANKS!!

Hey all, we have gator week ahead of us, which means practices will be more difficult. As a result, there will be a no tolerance policy for tardiness at practice. Hopping in the pool late has been an issue this whole season, and so starting Monday, those who are late to warm up will be asked to head home and make up the practice time Tuesday and Thursday night. I’m implementing this policy to prevent injuries, as warm up and cool down are important when it comes to alleviating strain on joints and muscles. Spread the word, I would hate to have to send swimmers home. Let’s all have a great gator week!

IT’S GATOR WEEK!! This is the last big push to qualify for League and State and practice gets a little exciting this week. Plan for your kids to be tired 🙂

Monday 7/8: Gator Week practices start.
Tuesday 7/9: upper division night practice 8:00 pm
Wednesday 7/10:  Instrasquad Meet – starts at 5:30 pm
Thursday 7/11:  upper division night practice 8:00 pm
Friday: End of Gator Week!
Saturday:  GMST vs. GEN at our pool
Sunday: Last Chance Meet at Stingrays
Wednesday 7/25: Team Banquet @ GMSC.

Practice Schedule:  If your athlete does not qualify for league or state, then this will be their last week of practice. 
– Practice for League Athletes:  Monday 7/15 – Friday 7/19
– Practice for State Athletes: Monday 7/22 – 7/26 (practices times may change. Stay tuned)

Last Chance Meet:  This meet is a last ditch effort to qualify for League or State.  You must have a B time or better or have a reasonable chance of getting close to a league time to sign up for this meet. There are no relays and the meet runs pretty fast.

Team Banquet:  The team banquet is in two weeks, but I wanted to make sure that it was on your calendar. This is a fun night to celebrate your athletes, hand out some awards and eat awesome food from all the families!
