Hello families of 8 and under assisted swimmers,

After our first week of practice and reopening registration, coaches have been able to slot our assisted swimmers into groups. There are some of our swimmers who are close to being totally unassisted and are working towards building the endurance required to move to unassisted practices. The groupings are as follows:

The format of the practice will be: a short (5 minute-ish) stretch at the beginning of practice, followed by in water work to help your swimmer move towards being unassisted by the end of the season. 

Attached to this email you will find information about what events to enter your swimmer in and how the coaching staff will move swimmers from "assisted" to "unassisted" based on swimmer readiness. Additionally, swimmers who are assisted in Assisted Group B will not swim at time trials due to not yet being legal for the meet events and not being able to receive an official time. Group A will use this as part of their assessment to move to being an unassisted swimmer. Please make sure to RSVP as attending or not attending so we can build the meet. You are welcome to still attend the meet to see how everything flows and to learn about/practice the various volunteer roles. The volunteer training will start at 6:30 P.M. if you are interested in attending. 

Please let us know if you have any questions. 

Thanks, 

The Germantown Gators Coaching Staff
