Hello Double Gate Gators!

We are so excited to be jumping back into the pool next week. We can’t wait for all the fun of swim team!

Practices start tomorrow Monday May 8th. While school is in, we will practice right after school with the younger groups starting first.

New Parent Orientation

On Monday, the first day of swim practice, your Swim Team Committee will be at the pool to meet with you regarding the importance of parent volunteer time during swim meets. Join us in a quick meeting for more information on roles and responsibilities, pick up a parent handbook, and learn all about the season!
