Welcome ARA Gators!
Welcome Back Gators!
We are looking forward to seeing you all back to Avalon for Pre-Season Practice on Monday, May 12th!
Here is our Practice Schedule.
We have a few action items, please complete these ASAP:
JRAC Waiver (linked)
Each swimmer must have a completed waiver to compete. Click here to fill out the waiver.
RSVP to Pizza Party Kick Off (linked)
We will hold a combined swim practice on Tuesday, May 27th, 5pm. We will enjoy cookies and pizza while we learn team cheers and meet Gator Buddies.
Sign Up for the Remind App (linked)
We will use this app to communicate with parents, share pictures, and quick information.
Gator Buddy Favorites (linked)
This is a fun tradition that supports mentor relationships between our younger Gators and our older Gators! If you choose to participate, please fill this form out by Monday, May 26th to ensure your swimmer receives their buddy prior to our Pizza Kick Off.
JRAC Training Schedule (linked)
Please consider attending one or more of these training sessions. It takes a village to run a swim meet and these accreditations help if we need to quickly fill in a vacant volunteer spot! Thank you!!
In addition, we are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator to look at Volunteer Sign Ups the day before Swim Meets. They will help organize name tags and vacant volunteer spots. This job will take care of all 'day of' hours for your family and is really helpful to Patty and I! This can also be split between two people if you want to tackle this as a team!
Swimsuit Fittings: Swimsuit fittings will occur from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20th at Avalon. Additionally, Virginia Swim Shop at NOVA Regency will be open during our swim evaluations at 2:30 p.m. this Saturday, May 10th if you would like to come to try on and order suits.
Thanks for all you do to support our Swim Team Community!!
Clair and Patty
