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. BUBBLE DOWN - Water is Warm
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. JJ Stroke Clinic Videos
