Preparing for the season

We are busy preparing for the summer swim season.  We just wanted to let you know that we have updated the Parent Handbook (from many years ago) as well as created a FAQ’s to help parents and swimmers know what’s happening with the Gators.
You can find these documents on the right hand side of the blog under the Important information and links section.  If you have questions about these documents or additional information please send an email to gmstgators@aol.com
We are excited to see all of the new and old Gators in a few weeks!

Missing the swimming suit fitting?

If you missed the Green Mountain Gator swimming suit fitting you still have time to order.  You will need to call the swimming suit vendor directly.  You will find their contact information below.  Please make sure you know what size suit you might need.  Please contact them as soon as possible so your swimmer has their suit in time and to avoid additional shipping costs.

Summer is around the corner

I can’t believe we will be starting summer swim team in 5 weeks.  The swim team is busy getting ready for summer and so is the swim club.  The registration for summer swim team is posted.  You will notice that we have a morning registration and an evening registration.  The morning swim practice is offered just as it has been in the past.  When you sign-up for morning swim practice your child will attend their age division practice daily.  The evening swim practice is being offered to swimmers 12 and under who have not been able to participate in the past due to parents work schedule.  For the first time we will offer an evening swim practice (if the demand is there with a minimum of 8 swimmers) for a maximum of 16 swimmers.  This practice will only be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00-8:00pm.  The evening practices will be offered to the families that register first due to the limited space and they will be contacted to let them know the status of this.  Please note your swimmer may only participate in the swim practice in which they registered for.
I hope you have noticed the many changes on the blog.  All information posted on the blog will also be posted on our Facebook page.  Please like the Green Mountain Swim Team on Facebook so you can receive updates here. You can also subscribe to the Gator blog by entering your email and this will send you an email daily if the blog has been updated.  I have also created a google calendar with important swim team dates and am working on allowing you to copy this calendar into your own (so this is coming soon).  Hope these tools are helpful and will help you stay current on things that are happening.
The pool is busy getting ready for us to start swimming.  If you drive by you will notice they have repaired the parking lot.  They will also begin the process of filling up the pool to get the water ready for us.
Summer will be here before we know it!  Please register your swimmers and we will plan to see you on May 18th for after school swim practice.  Please continue to check the blog frequently as we prepare for summer swim team.
