2026 Gators Swim Season
Dear Gator Families,
(1) This is a friendly reminder about our Mandatory Team Meeting on Monday, May 4 from 7:15pm – 8:45pm at John Muir Elementary
The team meeting will be open house style with various stations. At 8pm, there will be a brief presentation from the coaches. For new families, expect to spend 60 minutes getting oriented. For returning families, you will breeze through the stations. For all swimmers, when connecting with the coaches be ready to define what success means to you. Each family will earn one volunteer point for attending the meeting and completing the checklist; those not in attendance will need to make up the volunteer point during the season.
(2) Gator Gear:
Team Suit: The online store is open through May 15. Sample suits will be available to try on at the team meeting if you are unsure of sizing. All suits must be ordered online.
Merch: The online store is open through May 22. Merch is optional.
(3) Review the updated Practice Schedule (changes were made recently)
(4) Sign up on Swimmingly
(5) Team Pictures are scheduled for June 3 in the evening
