Dear Gators Families and Future Gators Families,

We’re excited to announce that registration for the 2026 Warm Springs Gators swim season is now open! 🐊💙

Both returning families and those new to the Gators are invited to register by visiting our website:

Important Upcoming Dates

• Meet the New Coach & Swimmer Tryouts / Evaluations: March 13th & March 14th
• First Week of Practice Begins: March 16th

We encourage both returning and new swimmers to participate in the tryouts. Swimmers will be timed and placed into practice groups based on performance so they can train safely, confidently, and at an appropriate developmental level. For first-time families, tryouts are relaxed and supportive, and designed to help place swimmers where they will feel successful and comfortable.
Families with younger swimmers are welcome—children who can swim but are not yet able to swim across the pool independently are encouraged to attend, as our program is designed to support skill development and gradual progression.

We are excited to welcome Ian Huskins as our new Head Coach for the 2026 season. Coach Ian brings over 20 years of aquatics experience and has coached competitive swimming since 2011. He has led Zone 2 All-Star teams to three consecutive championships and has helped swimmers achieve milestones ranging from personal bests and age-group success to Junior Nationals and collegiate swimming. His coaching emphasizes strong fundamentals, clear progression, and positive team culture—especially for developing swimmers.

“Excellence isn’t given—it’s earned through consistent effort, focus, and purposeful training.”

These events mark the beginning of an exciting new season focused on learning, growth, and competitive development. We look forward to partnering with families to help swimmers build confidence, skills, and a love for the sport.

If you have any questions, please visit our website or reach out to the Gators board. We look forward to welcoming returning swimmers and meeting new Gators families this season.

Go Gators!
🐊💙

Warm regards,
Warm Springs Aquatics Gators Board
