HEY GATOR FAMILIES!

We cannot believe that it is WEEK 3 already! We had a great second week with our gators. The coaches have been seeing great practice attendance, and we’re super proud of the effort that our swimmers are putting in to prepare for our first meet! Speaking of hard work, we plan to recognize our Gators of the Week at Tuesday’s practice, so be sure to attend! We will typically announce our Gators of the Week on Tuesdays along with meet results and with our ribbon ceremonies.

We are hosting CCV in our first home meet of the season on June 13th. Be sure to sign up for the meet before Wednesday, June 9th at 7 pm. The coaches will be seeding the meet then, and we need to have all swimmers signed up who plan to participate in the meet. The meet will be split into 2 sessions: 10 & Under, and 11 & Up. Also, meet signups are open for both our home meet with Southampton and Kanawha (away). Be sure to declare your swimmers for these meets as soon as possible.

In order to participate in the JRAC season, you MUST have a waiver filled out for each swimmer. The JRAC waiver is attached here (https://jrac2016waiver.formstack.com/forms/2021wai...). Be sure to have this filled out as soon as possible.

Katie Botha has taken on the Swamily program this season! Instead of swim buddies, the coaches decided to do Swamilys (Swim-Families). Each Swamily will have 2 or more swimmers who are 11+ and 2 or more members who are 10 and under. Please fill out the Swamily registration form for each swimmer before Friday, June 11th. The form is attached here (bit.ly/GatorBuds21).

There is a meeting for parents on Wednesday, June 9th at 5 pm. We encourage all new parents, and any other parents who are interested, to come join us for this meeting. The parent representatives will go over the basics of a swim meet, and they will answer any questions you all have about the swim team.

Also, a quick reminder that if you have any questions/thoughts/concerns, we ask that you email, call, or text us. When we are coaching, we want to give swimmers our full attention, so we would love to hear your thoughts outside of practice rather than during! Our contact information is attached to the website. We’re looking forward to another great week with the team!

GO GATORS!
