All Summer League Swimmers Invited to Join the Year Round Team This Fall!

Summer league is almost over, but the fun doesn't have to stop here. The Gator Swim Team is inviting all summer league swimmers to be part of its year-round swimming program starting in August. The program is designed to accommodate swimmers of all ability levels, from basic "learn to swim" lessons to advanced swimming workouts, all with the constant supervision of certified coaches with decades of accumulated experience in training and competition.

Our team's knowledgeable coaches will continue to work with the swimmers in practice sessions and swim meets, providing the young athletes all the support and confidence they need to start and maintain healthy habits that will last a lifetime and define winning in their own personal way.  The Gators' year-round program provides not only a perfect and fun way to keep kids fit, but also a safe and supportive family environment that stresses lifelong qualities such as self-confidence, honesty, responsibility, sportsmanship, trust, pride and self-discipline, among others.
