The Alligator Aquatics Board of Directors will have vacancies in the following positions as we enter the end of the current term: Registrar, Treasurer, and President. If you are interested in filling one of these positions, please contact Head Coach Stacy Cassiday for consideration.

Owen Geli's first season in Phoenix has been one for the books! Owen finished out this season with 10 Regional cuts and was Regional Champion in the 100 Freestyle and 100 Backstroke. He also qualified for Age Group State in 7 events, and will finish out his season at the ISCA meet in Florida this April. Owen is just as impressive out of the water as he is in the water. Owen shows up to practice every day with a smile and a great attitude! He is always up for a challenge, even swimming the 1650 at the BSC meet in November. Owen is a friend to everyone, always cheering on and supporting his teammates. Congratulations Owen on a successful season! We are so proud of you! Keep up the good work!
