Plot twist: the Gators have home-pool advantage this week against Queens Lake Eagles. No filters needed, just fast swims, big splashes, and Gator pride.✌🏻

📣 Please keep reading for all the important meet details below. 📣

Athlete Arrival

• Swimmers arrive by 4:30 PM for warm-ups.
• Swim deck setup is for swimmers ONLY. If your child is old enough, we prefer that they stay on deck with the coaches during the meet. If they sit in the field with you, please pay extra close attention to events information and when the coaches are calling for athletes.
• Clerk of Course - Our clerk of course area is TIGHT and it can get chaotic with too many people hanging around. If you accompany your swimmer to clerk of course, please do not stay once they are in a row. Of course, we understand if there are tears, but generally, please do the good ol' daycare drop and goooo.
• Please write event/heat/lane info on your swimmer’s hand!
• Please encourage your Gators to drink LOTS and LOTS of water throughout the day tomorrow and Monday.

Spectator Tent/Chair Setup

• Parents and spectators will set up in the field.
• Do NOT place tents directly against the fence—we need a walkway. If you do, we’ll kindly ask you to move.
• Our team needs access to the outlets for gear so please bring battery-operated fans only.
• Please do not set up tents before 12PM!

Gator Grill

One of the best parts of Monday meets? You don’t have to cook dinner!
Julie Grimm and her awesome concessions crew will be ready to feed you.

Volunteers

• Please check in with Brittany upon arrival.
• Grill Masters: Arrive by 4:15 PM.
• First session concessions: Head over by 4:30 PM—those swimmers come out of warm-ups hungry.
• Second session: Jobs switch after breaststroke (event 30). Please be ready to step in!

Additional Reminders

• Trash: Please pick up allllll trash before heading out (including your swimmer's area on deck).
• Sunscreen & Bug Spray: You’ll need it. You’ll want it.
• Bathrooms: Please use the outside bathrooms, unless you’re volunteering to clean the inside ones Tuesday morning.

Admin Notes

Friendly Reminder

Please remember that swimmers should not wear club gear, swag and/or merch at practices or meets. Thank you for helping us follow league guidelines and represent our team appropriately.

Board Members

Have you ever considered serving on the board? We’d love to have you join the team!

Next year, we’ll be looking to fill several key board positions, as we lose our President, Secretary, and Concessions Coordinator. We need families to step up and serve on the board to ensure our team can continue to operate and provide the great experience our swimmers enjoy each season.There are roles to fit a variety of schedules and interests, and every position makes a difference.

If you’re interested or have questions, please reach out to any current board member. We’d be happy to share more about the available opportunities.

As always, if you have any questions - don't hesitate to reach out!

See you at the swamp. GO GATORS!!🐊
