Hi Gulfwood Gators!

Who is counting down the days until summer?! I have a few important dates for you all to keep in mind as you plan your summer vacations and think ahead!

• Gulfwood Gators Swim Team Registration OPENS April 1, spread the word!
• Dryland practices May 19 and 21
• First day of Swim Practice May 26
• Smoky Mountain Invitational Meet July 11–12, 2026
• Tom Schumann Memorial GKAISA Championship Meet July 23–25, 2026

Officials: As you all know, it takes an entire team of parents, coaches, and swimmers to make our summer league season run smoothly! One really great way to help out as a parent is to become an Official. If you have questions about what it takes to become an Official at our meets, please reach out to Steve Neal: [email protected]

Little Gators Volunteers: Every summer we take great pride in running a fantastic swim school for our youngest future Gators! This swim school would not be possible without the help of our volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please see the requirements on this form and fill out by May 1: Little Gators Volunteer Form

GKAISA Internship: GKAISA is offering an internship program along with a scholarship upon completion for current freshmen and juniors. Take a look at the GKAISA website and note that applications are due March 15. GKAISA Internship and Leadership Program - Greater Knoxville Area Interclub Swimming Association

That's all for now! Reach out with any questions!
