– Team day at Water World (weather depending). This is an official, but informal event. What does that mean exactly? It means that you are responsible for buying tickets, driving your kids/family to Water World and then generally having a fun day at the park. We will have a meet up spot where all Gators can put down their things, run into each other over lunch and have a home base. (Click here for map of meet-up spot). There are no formal activities and you are free to do what/when you want at the park, all while running into Gator swimmers and families.
– 7/1: All teams in our League have a BYE this weekend.
– 7/5: Our final Intrasquad is happening right after the July 4th holiday, which makes sign-ups a bit tricky. We will post the entry sheets this week and pull sheets on Monday 7/3 at practice.
