Tie Dye & Ice Cream Social / Parent Meeting


On Friday, June 1st we will have our annual tie-dye and ice cream social. This is a tradition of tie-dying apparel with the Gator team colors that has been carried on for years . We are going to incorporate a mandatory parent meeting into this event.

This event will be from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
- Mandatory Parent meeting will begin 5:30 pm. Please plan on having one parent attend this meeting. We will discuss some summer season information and introduce all of the coaches and board members.
-Tie-Dye can be completed anytime between 5:00-7:30pm (this will allow them to finish by 8:00pm when the pool closes). Each person is responsible for bringing an item if they would like to tie-dye. The swim team will supply the dye (and the fun). It would be helpful if the item you were going to tie-dye was already prepared with rubber bands.
- Ice Cream will be served around 6:00pm and will be available until this is all eaten.
- We will also have our Gator apparel (shirts, sweatshirts, hats and swim caps) available for purchase. These items can be purchase with cash, check or credit card. We will have white tank tops and tshirts available for purchase as an option of something Gator to tie-dye.

NOTE: The pool will be open and kids will be able to swim.

We will have team tshirts and tanks to sell as well that you can tie-dye.

5Parks vs. GMST
Our first dual meet against another team starts on Saturday, June 2nd. This is a home meet at our pool.  Warmups are at 6:00 am (Visiting team has warmups at 6:30 am) with the meet starting at 7:00 am. 5Parks is a large team, so plan to be at the pool until about noon.  Also, if your child chooses to skip the warm up, there will not be another time for them to jump in the pool for that purpose. Once the meet starts at 7:00 am it is full steam ahead!  Please see the right hand side of the blog for the sign up link for volunteers.
