Gator Swim Team T-Shirts

Some parents have expressed an interest in purchasing Gator Swim Team T-Shirts.  New design T-Shirts will be offered for sale in October when the printing shops have a chance to catch up on all the back to school and sports team shirt printing they are working on.  We will post an order form here as well as well as send it out via email when they are available.

Grocery Coupons

At our Parent Board Meeting on August 27, we made a decision to not offer the Smith's Grocery Coupons any more.  We will still offer the Lee's Marketplace coupons, though.  Here is a reminder on how to participate in this super, easy fundraiser:

ONGOING GROCERY COUPON FUNDRAISER

Did you know that you can purchase Lee’s Marketplace groceries through the Gators and receive money credited to your swimmer’s account?

You give a check to our Fundraising Chair, Connie Beck (563-1803 or jcbeck120(at)aim.com) for the amount of groceries you would like.  Connie will give you a Lee’s Marketplace gift card for the full amount you paid for.  Then the team will receive 5% back from Lee’s.  4% will be credited to your swimmer's account to pay for dues, etc.  The remaining 1% will go to the team.

You are not out any money AND you receive money back in credit on your account.  And the team makes a small amount in fundraising.  Contact Connie with any questions.

(Example: Check for $100 = gift card for $100 + $4 credited to your swim account + $1 goes to the Gator Swim Team account)

NO swim practice on Labor Day

Just a reminder that there will be NO swim practice on Monday, September 3 {Labor Day}.

August Gator Gab Newsletter

Welcome to all the 28 new swimmers who came to our Open House on August 6th and tried out for our team!  We look forward to seeing you in the pool.

Remember...the Sky View pool will be closed from August 13-August 22.  Gator practices will resume on MONDAY, AUGUST 27th.  There will also not be any dry land practices during that time.

Our monthly Parent Meeting will also be on MONDAY, AUGUST 27th at 5:00 pm at the pool.  We strongly encourage all parents of swimmers to be at these monthly meetings.

Thanks to all the parents who helped during our end of season (end of long-course season) meet last Thursday and Friday.  We have some great swims and the results are included in the newsletter below.

Utah Swimming Newsletter

This is the first edition of the Utah Swimming Newsletter.  The front page features key articles and information as well as upcoming meets and special events. Pages two and three spotlight teams, coaches and athletes each month and highlight Utah swimming successes. Page three shares links to interesting USA swim articles or training videos. The last page provides insight on what the Utah Swimming Board is doing to improve. In addition, it houses Word Wise and Safety First tips, and it also features additional information such as parent education opportunities, swim camps or seminars.

We hope you find it interesting and useful.
