Gator Families,

We have a fairly quiet week ahead, but lots of meet declarations and RSVPs coming up. Attached you will find this week's Gator Bulletin (7/1), it will also be posted on our Instagram and Facebook pages. Due to the holiday this week, no meets are scheduled. We have practice Monday-Wednesday and Friday this week (no Thursday practices due to July 4th. On Tuesday, we will have a swim clinic held by Coffman YMCA Swim Team during practices. We will still have the 13 and over swim clinics on Monday and Wednesday evenings, 13 and over swimmers make sure you RSVP so we can let the high school coaches know how many swimmers to expect.

REMINDERS:

- Championship Meet Registration deadline to declare your swimmer is NOON THURSDAY, JULY 4 as we have to get entries to the league. Please make sure to mark them as going or not going, so coaches can plan accordingly. If you do not declare them by this date, we will assume they are not attending the meet as we pay a per swimmer fee for this meet. Coaches may need to move swimmers in events to make sure we have swimmers participating in each event.

- The league is selling spirit ads in the heat sheet/program [no digital heat sheets will be sent out] for the meet. If you would like to place a spirit ad please follow the link below. Each ad is $5. Payments will need to be sent to our PayPal account (memo: Spirit Ad) so we can get one check to the league for all orders placed. The deadline to place a spirit ad is Sunday, July 7 @ 8:00 P.M. with payments made by July 8 at NOON (or ad orders will be canceled). Spirit Ads Order Link.

- Declare for the Idle Hour away meet by NOON on Monday (7/8).

- Please RSVP by Thursday, July 11, at NOON, for the Team Dinner on 7/12, so we can ensure that there is enough food to accommodate all who are attending. If family members are planning on eating, please include them in your RSVP/count.
