Hey Gator Families,

I promise you won't be getting daily emails from me, but hang with me for these first few days as there is a lot of information to share! 

Thank you all for an awesome first day of practice! It was great to see so much energy  and excitement from our swimmers as we kicked off the summer season. It is going to be a fun summer!

Due to the size of our Caiman group (yay for so many 9-12 year olds!), I will be making some adjustments to our practice groups beginning tomorrow, June 2. These changes are designed to give our swimmers more space in the water, provide appropriate challenges for each group, and help us continue developing the speed and skills we need to swim fast this summer.

I have posted the updated practice schedule on our website, and I encourage everyone to review it before tomorrow's practice.

Beginning June 2, practice groups will be:

• OG's: 6:30–7:45 AM — All athletes entering middle school and above next school year!
• Caiman: 7:40–8:40 AM — Athletes older than 8, who are still in elementary school next school year!
• Hatchlings: 8:30–9:15 AM — All 8 & under swimmers!

Please note: If we have previously communicated about your swimmer being placed in a different practice group, that arrangement will remain in place. These group assignments do not change any individual placement decisions that have already been discussed.

By sticking to these updated practice times, we should be able to reduce the size of our Caiman group while continuing to grow our OG group and develop leadership among our middle school swimmers.

I am excited to see the progress our swimmers will make this season and appreciate everyone's flexibility with these changes. As always, please reach out with any questions.

Go Gators!
