Registration is NOW OPEN for our 2023 Gators Summer Swim Team. Be sure to register by the end of April to receive your personalized swim cap!

Thank you to everyone that came out to the Open House on April 18th in the clubhouse ballroom to meet the reps, coaches, get fitted for team suits and place spirit wear orders. We were excited to share all our fun with new families and catch up with our veteran swimmers. During the Open House, your swim reps Dan Ortiz, Faith Rodill and Caren Suarez were present to answer all questions. There were also sample spirit wear, sizing kits and volunteer opportunities for all the fun that is summer swim.

(continued from page 21) who are not quite ready to compete in meets but are ready to learn the techniques of competitive swimming. They should be adjusted to the water and able to take direction from the coaches. Little Chompers are expected to have already learned the basic swim skills of kicking and floating, with the ability to comfortably submerge their face and body underwater and swim away from the wall to a coach.
Little Chompers will have a 30-minute swim practice beginning June 19th tentatively at 11:00 a.m. They are invited to any social activities, dinners, and meets (to watch and cheer but not swim until they are capable).
*NOTE: After time trials, swimmers who cannot swim the length of the pool without stopping will be referred to the Little Chompers Program. Once a swimmer is ready to move to the regular swim team with coach approval, the swimmer will “graduate” from the Little Chompers and join the appropriate age-group practice.
Our season is not possible without all the help of our amazing volunteers! Many opportunities to get involved!
