As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends, family and loved ones, we wanted to give thanks to our Alligator Families. Not only to our team of swimmers and coaches, but to the parents. We appreciate all that you do to support your athletes and the team. Those early mornings, those late nights, the endless hours shuffling to and from, the loads and loads of towels being washed and giving up your weekends to sit poolside to cheer on your swimmer and the rest of the Alligator Aquatics Team. THANK YOU!
