Tie-Dye and Ice Cream party–this Wednesday

Please don’t forget that this Wednesday is our Tie-Dye and Ice Cream party.  All the details from before are the same.  This will start at 6:30pm, t-shirts and tank tops will still be $10.00, we will provide the tie-dye and ice cream, and have lots of fun! 
Hope the weather cooperates with us!  If the weather doesn’t look great please check the blog before heading here. 

Also Big/Little swim buddies are posted at the pool.  If you haven’t already looked at this please do so.  If you are not sure who your big/little buddy is please ask a coach and we will get you introduced.

Meet tomorrow

Tomorrow is our first home meet.  Swimmers will arrive by 6am for warm-up and the meet will start at 7am.  With all first meets of the season, there are always some issues and our first issue is that we didn’t receive the meet file from WheatRidge. This means our swimmers are swimming with NT (no time).  We apologize that the meet isn’t heated in the most productive way, but we will do our best to heat swimmers so they are competitively matched.  We appreciate your patience with this. 
Also parents we still have a few opportunities for you to volunteer.  If you are going to be at the swim meet tomorrow please help volunteer your time and watch your swimmers up close and personal.

See you bright and early.

Evening Practices for Upper Division

Hi Gators! Evening practices for the Upper Division swimmers will start tomorrow. Evening practices will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8-9pm. Evening practices are not required, but are available to Upper Division swimmers who need extra work on strokes, turns, etc. They are not meant to be a substitution to coming in the mornings, unless something other than sleep requires that you miss a morning practice. 

Since there were several times last year where a coach showed up and no swimmers showed up, this year I am asking if you are planning on coming to an evening practice, that you text me by 3pm that day so that Porter or I can plan on being there. If I do not receive a text by 3pm, we will assume no one is coming and we won’t make the drive over.
Thank you, and let me know if you have any questions 🙂

Tie-Dye and Ice Cream

We will have our annual Gator tie-dye and ice cream party on Wednesday, June 3rd.  We will start the tie-dye at 6:30 pm and ice cream will be served shortly after.  We would appreciate a few parent volunteers that would help serve ice cream and monitor toppings.
Here are a few helpful hints for tie-dye:

  • You will need to bring your own item to tie-dye (shirt, socks, towel, etc.)
  • We will have white Gator t-shirts and tank tops available for purchase if you want to tie-dye these.  They are $12.00 each (we accept cash or checks)
  • If possible please bring your item you are tie-dying already rubber banded in the patter you want
  • We will be supplying the dye (green, yellow and blue), directions on how to care for these items and baggies to take these home in
  • Have fun!!!!!!
We encourage you all to wear your new tie-dye gator items the rest of the season to show our Gator team spirit.
The announcement of swimming buddies will be announced and posted at this event too!
Also if the weather cooperates the pool will be open for the kids to swim.
