Swimmer of the Week--starting next week

The Gator coaches and board members are excited to implement a new award for swimmer of the week.  This swimmer recognition will begin next week.

During the summer swim season the coaches will be recognizing one female and one male swimmer each week.  Swimmers can be chosen from any age group.
