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.

Are you swimming this summer? Make sure you are completely registered

Attention Swimmers (and Parents):
The final day to sign up for the Gator summer swim team is JUNE 4TH.  Each swimmer MUST be signed up (through the Blog), payment received, emergency consent form and release of liability forms must be turned in if you want to swim on Saturday.  We need to ensure all of these pieces to registration are completed by Thursday.  You will not be allowed to swim in the meet on Saturday if all of these items are not completed.
Please let us know if you have questions regarding this.

Reminders

Awesome job at the intrasquad meet tonight everyone! The whole team is looking great so early in the season 🙂

Just a reminder that entries for Saturday’s meet against Wheat Ridge are due by tomorrow evening. Please get signed up before then! If you are having any issues with the online sign up, please email me with your entries and I can help you get entered. My email address is jaimiestevens27@gmail.com. I make the relays Thursday night based on the entries I have, so if you aren’t entered, I won’t know if you’ll be there, and you may not be on the relays.

I also just added quite a few swimmers to the list who told me that they want a buddy. If you do not see your name (don’t worry about it if I didn’t put your age down), but still want a buddy, go ahead and add your name to the list! I will be figuring them out so I can announce them at the ice cream party next Wednesday! Here is the link to sign up:
