Hey Gator Families. If you have a 12 and older swimmer that is looking to swim but doesn’t want to join a year-round club, we have an alternative for you. Please read below….
100 Percent swimming was created as an alternative to a full commitment and higher costs that comes with some club swimming. We will practice 3 days a week at the Green Mountain Rec Center on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Practice will start on Monday Sept 8 and go through the last week of October. The purpose of this is to keep swimmers in shape and focus on technique over typical non-swimming months. The design is a no nonsense practice with no commitment to weekends. There are no expectations of practices you need to make, but hopefully you make the commitment to make a majority of the practices. There will not ever be more than 5 swimmers per lane which means that this will be capped at the first 20 swimmers on a first come first serve basis so if you are interested please contact me soon. Cost is 250 covers 24 practices with coaching.
Practice starting on Monday Sept 8th – Thursday Oct 30th. Times are TBD but it looks like it could be from 4 – 5.
Strong swimmers age 12 and up with the expectation that a swimmer is comfortable with swimming roughly 1600 meters in one hour.
Swimmers must have swim experience. We will practice technique, but this is not a learn to swim setting
Knowing all strokes is a benefit, but not required
The cost includes facility rental, coaches pay and insurance. 250 dollars is a non refundable fee regardless of how many practices you can make per week
Coaches – Tim Campbell, Ryan Adams and Jim Murphy
Please feel free to contact me or coach Adams with any questions tbcampbe@jeffcoschools.us or rjadams@jeffcoschools.us
We are sorting State medals and will have the swimmer file box available in the guard shack by Monday. If you missed the banquet, forgot to grab your items or have ribbons from the meets… stop by next week and check the box.
We are looking forward to seeing you at our last team event on Wednesday, July 30th. Remember not to arrive prior to 8:15 pm. Movie will begin around 8:45 pm.
Our final team event will be a team movie night on Wednesday 7/30 from 8:30pm – 10:15pm-ish for team movie night. This is a non-swimming event and is for our swim team only + siblings and/or parents. Swimmers are encouraged to bring blankets and pillows for a cozy night. – Please do not show up before 8:15pm. The lifeguards need time to clear the grounds and pick up before we head in. – Parents are welcome to stay or drop off and return around 10:00pm.

The coaches will be dressed to impress and many of the swimmers like to dress up too. For everyone else, flip flops and t-shirts are excellent choices. Please bring your potluck item and a chair, then sit back and enjoy. This is a non-swimming event.
If you cannot make the banquet, stop by the Guard Shack at the pool to look through the Swimmer File box. It will be updated with any awards your swimmer might have won, ribbons from previous meets, an individual times report for the season and whatever else might come up.
