Are you ready for some GATORS????  Swim Season is Back!  We are so excited that we are able to offer a "normal" swim season this year!  Below is some important information regarding the upcoming season:
 
Coaches:   Our coaching lineup of Coach Mike Chavez, Coach Emma Hansen and Coach Michael Hansen are ready to take on this season!
 
Practice:  Our first practice starts on Monday, April 25. Please see the website for age group times.    Granite Bay Gators - Practice Schedule (teamunify.com)  Due to constraints with the pool, our practice times for the spring and summer are changing.  The new practice times are reflected on the website.
 
Team Suits and other Team Gear:  Our team suits are ready to order, but before you order, please come to the pool and try on sample suits for sizing.  We will have suits to try on at practice on April 25, 26 and 27 from 4:30 to 7:00 pm.  There will be a table set up with swimsuit sizes to try on.  When you order, these suits are non-refundable, so please make sure you have the correct size.  Please go to   https://qteamstore.com/collections/granite-bay-gators?ls=eHH2F0ulQcK2U-ryAIypBw to order your suit and other team gear for the season.  
 
Mandatory Parent Meeting:  We are holding our mandatory parent meeting in the GBHS library on Thursday, April 28 at 7:00 pm.
 
Swim Caps:  Please use this link to order personalized swim caps for the season.   ORDER DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2022.    https://forms.gle/J2eAvWabiieoAA7p6
 
Starters and Times:  We need head starters and timers!  If you are interested, please contact Patrick Luby at    [email protected]
 
Champs:  Champs will be held at Del Oro High School in Loomis this year.  The coaches are still working on a theme and will reveal that to the swimmers at practice!  We encourage all swimmers to swim at Champs.  It is such a fun team event where swimmers often post up their best times.  We dress up like our theme, we have a parade, and then swim our hearts out!  In order to swim at Champs, your swimmer must attend three league dual meets.
 
Sponsors:  Are you interested in promoting your business or sending a shout out to your swimmer?  Please consider being a Gator Sponsor.  Please see our website for sponsorship levels.    Granite Bay Gators - Sponsorship Levels (teamunify.com)
 
Socials:  We are excited that we will have all of our socials back this year!  Please watch for future emails regarding socials.
 
We look forward to seeing all of our swimmers out at the pool next week! GO GATORS!!!

First things…It was so amazing and so fun to see all of the smiling faces again and having the entire pool filled with our younger swimmers. The energy was awesome. Please tell others to get signed up so we can get them out there swimming. On business, we wanted to send out an email to everyone with clarification to a couple of things that came to our attention last night. Please read this email carefully and make sure we are all clear and on the same page going forward. 

 

  1. MAIN PRACTICE TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS!
    We believe there might have been some confusion on some times that got put out. To confirm the times for the Spring Clinics, they are as listed below;

    Tuesdays & Thursdays
    - Blue Group ( Advanced & Intermediate Swimmers ) |  5:30 till 6:15PM
    - Green Group (Beginner, New 10 & Under Swimmers ) | 6:15 till 7:00PM

    Please make sure your kids are there 5-10 minutes before the start of practice so we are able to get into the water right away. We only have 45 mins for these clinics and want to make sure that the kids are ready to swim right when the time hits.

     
  2. MONDAY & WEDNESDAY PRACTICE GROUP!
    We were able to get a Monday and Wednesday group back up and running. However, it will be starting next week on Monday. We are always looking to get more kids signed up, so please tell your friends and classmates about it. Starting next week, both Blue and Green M/W practice group will practice from 5:30 - 6:15PM. Please make sure you are there 5-10 minutes before the start of practice to make sure your kids are in on time. Just like mentioned before as well, please make sure your kids have all of their necessary equipment. We will definitely like to use fins for the younger group.

If you have any other questions regarding practice. Please feel free to email us or Coach Donny and we will try and get back to you as soon as we can! Thank you for your time! Have a great rest of your day!

Go GATORS!
CHOMP! CHOMP!
