Gators Families,

Summer is almost here, which means it is time for Gators! If you haven't signed up your swimmers, please register online as soon as possible. 

First of all, we'd like to extend a huge welcome to all the new Gators families this year. We are so glad to have you. We want you to have all the information you need, so we are working on scheduling a New Parent meeting. Stay tuned for the time and date! In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to any of us with questions. Again, welcome!

We have a number of updates to share:

• Practice will begin on May 28. As a reminder, practices are Monday-Friday throughout the season. Times are as follows: 7:30 - 8:45 AM ages 12 & Up; 8:30 - 9:45 AM ages 9-11; 9:30 - 10:45 AM ages 8 & Under.
• As a reminder, time trials & volunteer training will be held on June 4 at 7:00 PM at the pool. It's important that as many swimmers and are there as possible so the coaches can get times to create the meet line up. We also need parents there as we'll have a parent meeting and training on volunteer positions.
• Team pictures will be taken on June 7 at 8:00 AM at the pool.
• Please see the complete schedule here.

Gator Gear is available now! Click here to place your order online. Orders are due May 31 and will be delivered the following week.

Here are a few other reminders:

• Team suits can be purchased through Swimville USA (online, over the phone, or by mail) using this order form. Swimville USA will be on-site during the first day of practice (May 28) for fittings, but if you know your size and want to order ahead of time, they'll deliver your suit at that time. Remember, team suits are not required. 
• Volunteer sign ups will begin online on May 14. 
• If your child is in high school and wants to apply to be a trainee, please reply to this email or contact Coach Lemke.
• Don't forget to buy a Germantown Pool pass for your swimmer(s) at the City Building. It is required for all swimmers to have a pass.
• Swimmers must be registered for the team, have purchased a pool pass, and have registration fees and work deposits paid before they can practice. Please complete these tasks as soon as possible!

Please feel free to email us ([email protected]) or call/text Emily at 937-657-9164 with any questions. We are looking forward to a great season!
