POOL CLEAN UP DAY MAY 4

SATURDAY 5/4 FROM 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM

It’s pool clean up day. Whether you are a member of the pool or not, please consider pitching in to clean up the pool and get it ready for swim season.  The GMSC Board is already working hard to have the pool ready on May 20th for the start of our swim season. They need help cleaning, weeding, raking, sweeping, hauling, etc so they can also focus on making needed repairs to the pool.

If you volunteer for 2 hours, you will receive 10 guest passes for the summer. If you tell them you are from the Swim Team, you’ll also get a big hug (or a handshake if that’s your jam)!

We hope to see you there!

We are excited to announce our 2019 Summer Coaching Staff! We searched high and low and discovered a whole bunch a great talent right in our midst!
Head Coach:  BEN HOFSTRA will lead the team this summer.  He has coached with the Gators for the last two years as an Assistant Coach and a Clinic coach.  Ben has great relationships with our current swimmers and brings a multitude of swimming knowledge to the pool.
Assistant Coach:  LEXIE LAMPING will coach our 9-12 Division.  She is currently assisting with the GMHS Boys Swim and Dive Team and is passionate about all things swimming-related. Lexie is full of Gator spirit and takes a hands-on approach that will help our swimmers succeed this summer.

Assistant Coach:  EMMA BERG will coach our 8 & Under Division.  Emma was a Junior Coach last season and has been an in-water clinic coach for the last two years. Emma has a strong background in coaching the technical side of swimming and connecting with our youngest swimmers. She is excited to cultivate our youngest group into proud Gator swimmers.

Junior Coach: AVA ANDERSON will be our in-water coach for our 8 & Under swimmers, working with Emma.  Ava has been our in-water coach at clinics for 2 sessions and has been fantastic with our newest swimmers.  She is a top-level competitive swimmer, so she is very familiar with proper stroke technique.  She is a great teacher and makes it a lot of fun for the kids.

Mark Your Calendars for the Summer Swimsuit Ordering/Fitting Night

Mark your calendars: Sunday, April 28th, 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm for the Gator team swimming suit fitting
