2025 Gators Swim Team - Summer 2025

The Mt. Sterling Gators are a competitive swim team for swimmers ages 5-18. We will practice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday each week in the morning. There might be an occasional optional Saturday practice. The season will begin on Monday, May 26th, and will continue through Wednesday, July 16th. Swimmers will be broken into three practice groups based on age and ability. You will be notified of your swimmer’s practice time the week before practice begins. Meets are on Wednesday evenings beginning in June. Most of our meets are away due to the limitations of our pool, and we could be asked to travel throughout Central Kentucky, though the bulk of our meets will be in or around Lexington. The conference championships are in July in Lexington. A detailed meet schedule will be available the last week in April.

Please understand that Gators is not swim lessons! Swimmers age 7 and older need to be able to swim the length of the pool (25 yards) unassisted—it can be ugly, but they must be able to swim. Swimmers 6 and under need to be able to swim at least 15 feet unassisted. Swimmers must be willing to get in the water and put their face in! Swimming is a family participation sport! In order for meets to happen, family members will have to volunteer. Please understand that each family will be expected to provide volunteers multiple times through the season. Our team philosophy is for EVERY swimmer to learn proper stroke technique, develop a love of the sport, and to have fun! Summer swimming is all about learning something new with your friends while displaying team spirit and sportsmanship at all times. The coaches can’t wait to get started! Go Gators!
