January Splash: Greenwood Gators' Latest Highlights and Upcoming Events!

Gator President

Hello Gator Families!

This is an exciting time for the Greenwood Gators!

Over the past few meets, we’ve seen steady growth in participation—a true reflection of the commitment and passion of our swimmers, coaches, and families who support the team.

This weekend marks a significant milestone: we’ll be bringing our largest group ever—60 swimmers—to compete at the CGAC Chasestrong Meet. It’s a great moment for all of us as we continue to grow and strengthen our presence in the pool.

But it’s not just about the numbers. Our athletes are making meaningful progress, from personal bests to fostering a positive team culture. Every swimmer’s hard work contributes to the success and community that defines the Greenwood Gators.

As we head into the weekend, let’s continue to cheer each other on, celebrate the effort, and represent our club with pride. We’re not just competing—we’re building something special together.

Go Gators!
