Gator LogoVA Gators: The Most Practice Options, the Best Coaches, the Most Fun
Our 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 Loss and Legacy of Chrissy
 
The Gator family suffered a tremendous loss this past weekend.  Chrissy Chadwick (41) passed away Sunday, January 29, 2012 at her home in Charlottesville, VA after courageously battling her breast cancer for two years. She died in peace and comfort, held in the arms of her loving husband, Larry M. "Chad" Chadwick, and surrounded by her family.  Chrissy dedicated her life to her family and helping others and was loved and admired by all who knew her.  She was blessed with extraordinary organizational ability and leadership.  Chrissy was a Gator parent and a Fairview Swim and Tennis Club Board member.  Her smile and endless energy will be greatly missed.
