We are ready to dive into our 2023 swim season! We had a great week of Rookie Camp and can't wait to see all of our Gators at the pool next week!

Below is some important information to get the season off to a great start. Click here to see our Welcome Presentation.

• Swimmers must be registered online before they can get in the pool. It's not too late to invite friends to join the team, but they must register online before arriving at the pool.
• Practice starts Monday, April 24. Click here to see practice times. They are a little different from last year.
• Arrive 10 minutes early to practice so swimmers can get checked in.
• Swimmers need to bring/wear the following to practice (label everything!):
  • swim suit (arrive in your swim suit)
  • goggles
  • towel
  • swim cap (optional for practice)
  • fins (recommended)
  • water bottle
  • sweats or warm clothing and shoes for after practice (The air may be warm, but the water temperature is expected to be cool.)
• Parents are not allowed inside the pool gate during practice. Not only are parents on deck a distraction to coaches and swimmers, this is a liability issue enforced by NWAL and the TVCA. Only swimmers, coaches and board members on duty can be on deck. Please contact Robbie Morrow, our parent-coach liaison, if you have a question for a coach.
• If there are any practice cancellations or rain delays, we will notify you by e-mail, send alerts using the SwimTopia mobile app, and post notices to the team website. Gators don’t mind swimming in the rain, but if there is lightning and thunder at the pool, practice will be delayed or canceled.
• We encourage you to download SwimTopia’s mobile app. With this app, we’ll be able to communicate with you through push notifications. If you upgrade to the Pro version ($2.99/month after a free 7-day trial), you can get meet heat sheets, meet results and more right on your phone. To receive push alerts on your phone:

1. Download the SwimTopia Mobile App on the App Store or Google Play
2. Log in with your SwimTopia (Gator website) login
3. Be sure to check your app’s notification settings -- ensure that it’s set to pop up on your screen (Android users: you may need to receive your first notification before you can edit this setting)

• Swim Shops will be at the pool selling our team swimsuits on Wednesday, May 3 from 4:30–6:30 p.m. Click here for more information about our team swimsuit.
• The season schedule is available online. Mark your calendar with the important dates for events you won't want to miss, including meets, pep rallies, team photo day and more!

See you at the pool!
