Hello Gators,
Please review all of this important information!

The Glenridge pool does not open until Memorial Day weekend.

Practice at the Jerry Long YMCA will be in the competition pool. I have a limited number of lanes rented for each practice time slots. Therefore it will be very important for me to know how many swimmers we can expect for these practices. PLEASE SIGN UP TO ATTEND PRACTICE USING THIS SIGN UP GENIUS LINK.
I know many families have swimmers that fall into different age groups. I have the practice times and dates broken down into practice groups. If it works better for your family’s schedule to have siblings swim together, that is a possibility. However, preference will be given to swimmers that sign up for their own age group first. IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE YOUR PRACTICE SPOT, PLEASE SIGN UP EARLY!!
2. Team Suits
We have a team store on our Swimtopia website with our 2024 team suits, fan wear and goggles! These will be custom suits this year with the team logo. You will order your team suit on your own through SwimOutlet and it will be delivered to your door. SwimOutlet has provided us with a “fit kit” to use for ordering suits. I have multiple sizes of the suit that you can have your swimmer try on to find the best size before you place your order. THE FIT KIT WILL BE AT PRACTICES STARTING MONDAY MAY 13TH! SWIMMERS MAY TRY ON SUITS FROM THE FIT KIT AT PRACTICE TO FIND THE SUIT THAT FITS BEST! Here is the link to our team store: https://www.swimoutlet.com/collections/glenridgegators?ref=SWIMTOPIA
Our Mock Meet will be held on Thursday May 30th from 5p-7p. Please mark your calendars now.
