Gator Time



Our last five weeks have been spent immersed in swim. This is Julia's second year on the Greenwich Club Gators swim team and her passion is only growing!

'swimmers take your mark'... GO!

breaststroke - her favorite!

proud Gator Mom!

Julia is particularly enjoying the team this year because she's swimming with the bigger kids and working on different techniques to increase speeds. The latest new skill is a relay start where the arms are used to create momentum before diving in.


The dual meets are over for the season and Julia has been thrilled with her results. She has placed first multiple times in breaststroke, second and third in butterfly, and she has met her own goal of increasing her speed with each successive meet. We have one week of practice to go and then the finale of the season - the All Pool Meet!
