How can you help?

Our swim team is supported by parent volunteers.  It is important that all families volunteer to help to make the swim team successful for all swimmers.  The swim team board is looking for people who will be responsible for some specific few jobs.  Please let us know if you are interested in helping with one of these tasks.  The following tasks listed below are what we are in immediate need of filling

  • Help shop for concession items.  This task includes grocery shopping at Sams or Costco and King Soopers for home meets.  You would also be responsible for setting up the concession area the morning of home meets.
  • Help data enter at home meets.  Are you good with computers and entering numbers?  Your time would be used to enter results for home meets.
  • Do you have an oven and can assist with heating burritos?  We are looking for a few volunteers who can help warm up burritos the mornings of home meets.
  • Are you a party planner?  We would love your assistance with getting the special team events set up.  This includes purchasing the necessary items as well as helping set up the day of the event.
  • Do you understand the strokes of swimming or are willing to be trained?  We are in urgent need of more Gator officials.  This volunteer position comes with great benefits as you get a front row spot at swim meets.  You must attend a training session for this job.  
Please email gmstgators@aol.com if you are interest in helping with one of these specific tasks. There will be additional volunteer opportunities available throughout the season but these are specific and immediate needs we are looking for.

Happy Easter Gator families

On behalf of the Green Mountain Swim Team Board, we would like to wish all the Gator families a Happy Easter and happy egg finding.  We hope you all enjoy your Sunday.

Please remember there will be NO swim clinic this weekend due to the Holiday.
We will see you all on April 23rd if you are participating in clinics
We will see more of you on April 30th if you are in need of a team swimming suit.

Mark your calendars for the swimming suit fitting

Mark your calendars:  Sunday, April 30th 4:30-6:30pm for the Gator team swimming suit fitting
This is the date that our swimming suit vendor will be taking orders for the team swimming suit.  They will have different sizes on hand for swimmers to try on so that correct size suit can be ordered.  If your swimmer is swimming in the clinics on this night please arrive early so they can try these suits on while they are dry.
