Good Morning Gator Families, 

Our summer swim season is officially half way over. Thank you everyone for a great week! Shout out to Coach Savannah, Andrew Dean, and the parents who helped coordinate and prepare a pancake breakfast for the 13+ swimmers this morning. Showing up at 6am the day after a meet is dedication coated in syrup, strawberries, and peanut butter.

And big thank you to Claire, Anna, and Maddie! These three lifeguards have been keeping our swimmers safe at most of the evening practices. The team gave them each a thank you card signed by the swimmers and coaches along with some Gator Goodr sunglasses.

(1) Swim Meets 7/1 & 7/1: Next week we compete with the Plateau Club Penguins. Remember to declare by 8pm tonight, including POD families for 7/1 meet.

Tuesday, 7/1 PLAT@KGG (B Meet)

The website has all the home meet information and FAQ. Please review and plan accordingly. The pool/parking lot will open at 4:15 for set up, Gator warm ups are at 4:45, the Pod will swim at 5:50, and then the meet starts at 6pm. Additionally, we will have a food truck for each home meet. Food trucks are listed on the team calendar.

(3) POD Families: We are excited to see your swimmers compete on 7/1 at 5:50pm. Please declare your swimmer by 8pm tonight on Swimmingly.

(4) National Anthem: Are there any musicians who want to perform or singers who want to sing the national anthem on 7/1 or 7/15? Shout out to Clementine Dean for playing her violin last night!

(5) Awards: Ribbons are starting to trickle in and will be sorted into the boxes in the lobby as quickly as we can. Each family has a file folder sorted by last name.

(6) THE Relay: Save the date for our annual and much anticipated relay of the season. Our Senior/Coaches/Parents/Lifeguards will compete on July 10 for bragging rights. Please let us know if you want to participate. Depending on interest and availability, we will have two heats - one competitive medley relay heat and a fun free relay heat.
