VA Gators: The Most Practice Options, the Best Coaches, the Most
FunOur goal with the Virginia Gators is to create a program that equips any and every kid with all the practice time, personal attention, and expert instruction they need to become better swimmers. All of this is wrapped around a total-team concept that emphasizes FUN. Kids and their parents develop life-long friendships as part of the Gator “Family,” a word we emphasize because it best describes the atmosphere within our program.
While our kids work hard in the pool—some extraordinarily hard—our program caters to kids of all levels of ability and commitment to the sport. Want to swim six times a week or more? We’ll be there for you. Want to swim once or twice a week and only for four months during the winter? That’s no problem. With the most practice options of any program in the Charlottesville area, we have a program that will meet any kid’s need and any family’s schedule.
The bubble is down and the normal practice schedule has resumed. The water is still being heated...just bring a warm towel or your gator parka for after practice.

Thanks
to Gator Parent, Bruce
Telford, the informative Swimmer Profiles that you have been
receiving before each swim meet are now available online. These
profiles generated by the
SWIM Performance
Reporting System help swimmers and their parents track progress
throughout the season. To see the Charlottesville Gators reports
Click Here.T-shirts are in- please make sure that parents stop in the pool
during practice to pick up the t-shirts that each swimmer gets for
registering for Gators. Parents, if you have time, please consider
helping out at the beginning or end of practice to facilitate this
process for JJ, who will have the master list. A limited number of
extras may be available for parents to purchase for $10.
Also, remember that we have Gator Towels for sale. One is hanging in the
hallway of the pool for you to take a look at. Many swimmers have
enjoyed them, especially when traveling to meets. They look great
monogrammed (and that helps with keeping track of them too). Consider
one as a Holiday Gift! One is $25, or get two for $45 (each is $20
thereafter). E-mail Lauren Williamson
for orders and to arrange for delivery. Gator magnets are also available
for $5.
We have an order for Gator Parkas going out soon too. If you would like
a parka for your swimmer, please let us (JJ and/or Lynette Wuensch) know
ASAP so that it can be included in the order, and we may be able to get
it by the December meet in Roanoke (or in time for the holidays). They
make great ideas for gifts from grandparents to give to your swimmers!
Each parka is $115 (and includes monogramming). You will need to
indicate size and the text/name for monogramming.
If you would be interested in Gator logo apparel for parents, please let
Lauren. We are considering mens
and womens styles of polo or dryweave(sport) shirts, if enough people
are interested.
Thanks
to Gator Parent, MJ Natali, for working with Freestyle to get the Gator

As you may have heard, the Virginia Gators of Charlottesville and Fairview Swim and Tennis Club are wanting to building a new pool. Funding has been tough during this down economy. Hope to have more info in the near future.
Swimmers who would like to go above and beyond what their JSL swim teams have to offer this summer, please speak with Coach JJ about participating in the GATOR Summer Swim program. This program offers both early morning and evening practices. Contact JJ via email or catch him at Fairview anytime. If he has already told you he wants you there, click the button below to register and pay the $150 fee.
The
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) announced Friday
that Route 651 (Free State Road) in Albemarle County will be
closed to through traffic on Tuesday, May 25 for approximately
three months.Norfolk Southern Corp. plans a major rehabilitation of the one-lane timber deck bridge that is owned by the railroad.
VDOT officials say the road will be closed approximately one-tenth of a mile from Route 1428 (Huntington Road) and approximately four-tenths of a mile from the dead end of Free State Road. VDOT will place signs and barricades advising motorists of the closure, but Norfolk Southern will be responsible for the rehabilitation project.
You can get more information on real-time road conditions and weather forecasts on VDOT’s traffic and travel website.
Information on 2009-10 programs and rates, can be reviewed by reading the attached document. Keep in mind that we have the most programs and practice options in Charlottesville.
