Hi parents! Are you looking for a fun way to support your swimmers and the team this summer? If you're tired of timing or other volunteer duties, I recommend that you consider helping out as an official. The role of an official gives you front-row access to every race and we can't run a swim meet without them.
Who makes a good official?
Gators, family & friends,
We are looking to fill one more assistant coaching position for this upcoming summer. At this time, we have Ethan Schick as our Head Coach and Kaylyn Schull as an assistant coach. We need one more assistant coach to fill out the staff. We are looking for someone with a swimming background who can teach proper stroke technique to various age levels, can devote 10 weeks to the team during the summer (21 May - 29 Jul), and wants to have fun.
Preferred (not required):
Is your swimmer ready for summer to begin? The swim team will be holding our spring clinics starting in February. This is a great way for swimmers to start working back to being summer ready.

Hello swimmer families,
I just wanted to remind you of opportunities for your swimmer to continue to swim outside of the summer season. The Green Mountain Gators host a Sunday night swim clinic at Green Mountain Rec Center. This is a 10 week session that will help swimmer stay in the water and work on stroke technique. Please click here to register for this. Visit the Gator Blog for the clinic dates and times.
We were also informed about another opportunity for kids in 8th-12th Grade. Please see the details below. Please email or call Tim with any questions regarding this program.
Does your swimmers want to be back in the water? Do they need a little extra help with stroke technique? Do you know of a kid that would like to join swim team? Well the Gators are here to help with all of the above. We will be starting our indoor fall swim clinic at the end of September. These clinics will run for 10 weeks and will work with swimmers to help them develop and/or strengthen their strokes. Register your swimmer here

We hope you all have had a great start to the new school year. Please watch for the indoor Fall swim clinic date and registration to be posted soon.
It is always bittersweet when swim team ends. The summer swim season is amazing and seems to go by so quickly, as these 2 months are very busy. Then comes the end of the season when summer finally starts and things slow down a little (just in time for school to start). Thank you to the parents and swimmers for a wonderful 2017 summer swim team season.
If you didn't pick up all the contents from your swimmer files these will be at the pool in the lifeguard office during normal business hours. If you need to make other arrangements to get these please email and we will coordinate something.
We would also like to share a few events happening the remainder of the summer:
Well Mother Nature is now following our normal Wednesday summer swimming weather pattern and is planning on raining tonight. (I guess we should be fortunate that the weather has been great up until recently).
But don't worry, we are still going to have the banquet tonight. It might be a little wet and a little chilly so plan accordingly. If your family has a pop-up tent please bring this to help provide shelter from the rain. Bring umbrellas if you need and we will see tonight to end our swim season.
I am hoping by sticking to our original plan and having the necessary items we will be blessed with a few hours of no rain (keep your fingers crossed).
See all of you at the pool tonight at 5:30pm.
If you ordered swim team pictures this year I will have these at the banquet on Wednesday. Please come find me and I will make sure you get these. They turned out great. If you didn't order pictures you still have an opportunity to order the team picture and/or age group pictures online. I am sure once you see these you will need to get one :) (If you order online these will be sent to your house)

Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
