The Greenwich Club swim team, The Greenwich Gators, is one of the long time standing traditions at the Greenwich Club; with 50+ years of successful history and fun behind it. It is an introductory competitive swim and dive team for children ages 5-16. Members of the swim team must be able to swim one length of the pool (25 yards) of freestyle in order to become a member. Swimmers and divers will compete against others in the same age group as them which are listed below.
The season lasts from late June to early August, which includes practice Monday - Friday mornings, divided up by age group, and dual meets against local clubs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Dual meets are a combination of both home and away swim meets. Additionally the season wraps up in the first weekend of August with the championship swim meet, the All Pool Meet. The Gators are currently the two-time defending All Pool Meet champions!! Besides being successful in the water, the Gators have great fun and show a huge amount of pride out of the pool. Throughout the season there are special events meant just for the Gator swim team to show and grow our team spirit and have fun. This is a fantastic opportunity for Greenwich Club members who are interested in getting their children involved in a fun, introduction to competitive swimming. Not only will swimmers learn the basics of all four competitive swim strokes, but also will gain confidence, learn how to be a team player, and most importantly, begin a love of the lifelong sport of swimming. Many of our current swimmers and Gator alumni, begin their competitive swimming careers here at the Greenwich Club and go on to compete at high school, club, YMCA, and even collegiate levels! Please contact the swim coaches at greenwichgators@gmail.com if you have any further questions about the team. Sign ups will begin on Memorial Day Weekend! Greenwich Gators Swim Team Age Groups:
