Pictures, Pancakes & WaterWorld

It’s only 2 weeks away, so start planning!

I wanted to give all the swimmer families (new and old) an idea of what our Pictures, Pancakes  and Water World day will look like.  These fun activities are scheduled for Wednesday, June 26th. 
Please note there is no regular morning swim practice on this day.

Starting at 7:30am we will begin taking individual/buddy swimmer pictures.  There will be an order form on the right side of blog, as well as some copies at picture day. Please have this form completed when you arrive.

At 8:00am we will begin our BIG team picture. If you aren’t getting individual pictures taken we ask you arrive no later than 8:00am so you can be included in the team picture.  Please make sure you wear your team swimming suit. 

While the pictures are being taken we will have people preparing Gatorcakes (green pancakes).  There is a volunteer sign-up on the right side of the blog for parents to help cook and also bring some food. 

After the pictures have been taken and Gatorcakes have been eaten, it is off to WaterWorld.  Please know this is not a required event.  Also know that there is no adult supervision so you will need to plan accordingly.  Below is a link and instructions on how to purchase discounted WaterWorld tickets.  Our team receives discounted tickets which can be purchased and printed online.

Need Volunteers for Saturday 6/15

Hi Gators. We will be swimming against Mount Vernon this weekend at our pool. They reached out to say that they have a very small team this year (about 35 kids), so I adjusted the sign up genius to reflect what volunteers we need. We will only have two shifts and should be done with the meet much quicker than normal. However, we need lots of timers from our team for those two shifts! Thanks in advance for your help.

Swimmers of the Week

After some tough consideration, the first two swimmers of the week have been decided! This decision is based on performance in both practices and meets, and an overall positive attitude. The choice was difficult to say the least, as so many of our swimmers are starting off strong and with smiles on their faces. But without further ado, the two swimmers of the week are Tenley Fuller and Dominic Anderson. Come find me at practice for a toy gator and a $5 Dairy Queen gift card.
Tenley has been trying extra hard in practice this week with the goal to move up to the top lane with all her friends, and that effort has not gone unnoticed. On top of that, she swam in both the 5 Parks meet and the freestyle frenzy this weekend, and worked interactively with her coaches to perform “swimingly.” As the cherry on top, she was one of the five winners of the gator toss at the end of the freestyle frenzy. Good job Tenley!
Dominic has also been exceeding in practice, and he swam both meets this weekend. He swam out of his mind at 5 Parks, and got first place in his age group at the freestyle frenzy. Dominic, if you keep up the good work you are sure to improve faster than your dad can start a race. Good job Dominic!
