Saturdays meet: First home meet

Our summer swim season is off to a great start.  We are excited to host our fist dual meet this weekend.  A home meet means there are many volunteering opportunities.  If your child is swimming in the meet on Saturday we need you to volunteer your time and sign-up.  Here is the sign-up sheet for parent volunteers.  Please don’t be shy, we have all been a “newbie” at one time.  Thank you in advance for helping with your kids swim meet.

We have also post the “rough draft” to the Individual events.  Please double check this for accuracy and let the coaches know if there needs to be any changes.

We will see all your smiling faces at 6:00am on Saturday morning.

Swimmer of the Week

Swimmer of the Week
The Gator coaches and board members are excited to implement a new award for swimmer of the week.  This swimmer recognition will begin next week.  
During the summer swim season the coaches will be recognizing one female and one male swimmer each week.  Swimmers can be chosen from any age group.  Upon being chosen for the swimmer of the week the swimmer will be recognized on the blog and on the bulletin board at the swimming pool as well as receiving a Dairy Queen gift card.

Swimmer files

Beginning this week we will have the swimmer folders out during practice.  The swimmer files are designed to get swim team related information to the swimmer.  The folders are arranged alphabetically by last name.  Examples of items in these folders are:  ribbons from meets, information hand-outs, paperwork and/or items from your swim buddy.  We encourage all swimmers to check their folder at least once a week and remove all the contents.
