Hello Gator Families!!
We are looking forward to seeing you all Wednesday night, July 25th, at 5:30PM at the swim club for our Annual/End -of-year Swim Team Banquet. The swim team is providing pizza and bread sticks. Each family is responsible for bringing a dish to share. Depending on the first letter of your last name, you will bring either a side dish, or a dessert - and please bring an appropriate serving utensil, if needed (we do not have any). For the past several years, we have been 'blessed' with rain and/or cool weather. Please prepare accordingly. The banquet can last until about 8:30pm. The coaches love to brag about their swimmers!
Swimmers with the last name beginning with letters A-L, please bring a dessert.
Swimmers with the last name beginning with letters M-Z, please bring a salad/side.
Portions should be able to serve at least 10 people.
Great Job All League Swimmers!!! It was a long hot
weekend and you all swam great. The Coaches are pleased with our 4th
place finish we were well ahead of the 5th place team. If
you are interested you can check out the results under important links. (Team
scores are on the very last page of the results.)
Gators,
Hope you are all ready to swim fast this weekend because the League Psyche sheet is out and there are a lot of very close swims. Check out the psyche sheet under important links. We will need everyone on their A game this weekend.
Remember tomorrow's ice cream/tie-dye party starts at 6:30pm be sure to bring something to tie-dye we will provide the dye and ice cream. Parents please make sure you come with your swimmers and supervise them.
Attention 400 swimmers you only have two practices left before league, you do not have practice Friday. If you would like to do a wake up swim (highly recommended) Friday please be at the pool at 8:30am. Then after the wake up swim I will take the 400 swimmers out to breakfast.
Coach Rich
Hi Gators,
League entries are posted under "Important Links" and will be at the pool tomorrow. Please check and make sure that everything look right. The coaches spent a lot of time putting swimmers in the events we think the swimmers will do best in so please understand you might not be swimming exactly what you want but it is what is best for the team. If you notice a mistake or need to make a change please let me know ASAP.
The schedule for league has also been posted under "Next Meet" be sure to note that the 400's are on Friday. Saturday the meet starts with the medley relay and goes through Backstroke. Sunday starts with the Free relay and goes through the IM.
Coach Rich
Alright Gators,
Tomorrow is our last dual meet of the season, be sure to get rest so you can swim fast. Remember if you do not have a league time your last practice was today.
Good Luck Gators
Coach Rich
Great job tonight gators. We had a lot of great swims and even some state and league qualifying times.
Remember if you have made league but are not going to be able to swim please send me an email letting me know by Sunday. My email is richcleeds@gmail.com
Coach Rich
Alright the Gator the coaches are ready are you? After discussing some relay strategy at the pool today I would say that the coaches are a 2 to 1 favorites to make a clean sweep of both the parent and upper division relays. If you all want to change those odds you better stay till the meet is over and cheer real hard.
Just a reminder warm-up starts at 5:30pm the meet starts at 6:00pm
See you there.
Coach Rich
P.S. Goal time for coaches
Guest Coach Back: :29.0
Coach Rich BR :32.0
Coach Josh Fly: 27.5

"Oh I said it"

Coach Rish
Hope everyone has a great 4th. Upperdivision I will see you Thursday at 8pm, I will see the rest of you Friday.
Have fun be safe
Rich
WOW!!!!
I think I am more impressed than tired, and that is saying a lot. The weekend started out on a great note with the meet against AAC. I am not only proud of all the swimmers who swam great and only lost to AAC by 11 points, but I am also proud to say that once again the Gator parents demonstrated how smooth a big meet can go. I can't believe how fast we were out of there yesterday, a BIG thank you to all who helped.
Next I have to say I have never seen such a great performance at the pentathlon than the one I saw today. I special congratulations to second place over all finishers Kim, Inez, Ethan, and Ianna and to all third place finishers Olivia and Alex, (Note Alex took off 15 seconds in a his 50 Fly (that is not a typo 15 seconds) ). I would also like to congratulate all the other swimmers, there are too many to name who swam great and most of them made top six over all.
This weeks schedule
Monday: Regular Practice (Note even pentathlon swimmers should try and come)
Tuesday: Pictures and Pancakes followed by Water World
Wednesday: No Practice
Thursday: No Morning Practice, there will be night practice from 8-9pm
Friday: Regular practice
