Share with your family and friends. We’ve expanded our capacity and created additional spots to welcome new swimmers to the Gators. There’s currently no waitlist, and we have plenty of space available for swimmers aged 9–13. An assessment is required to determine the most appropriate group placement. If you know someone looking to join a fun, supportive, and development-focused swim club, now is a great time to get involved!
