The Gator swim team has been an integral part
of summer for the youth of Pinegate for over 30 years.
Anyone under the age of 16 is eligible to be on the team. All
Gators must be able to swim one length of the pool. Practices
are held on weekday mornings throughout the summer. Meets are
held on Saturday mornings. The team competes in the Suburban
Swim League with other teams from Lake and eastern Cuyahoga
Counties. Swim team members refine their swimming strokes and
learn team spirit and sportsmanship. Fro more information, contact
any swim team board member or watch the Pinegate newsletter
for swim team announcements.
Suburban League Championships
The Pinegate Swim Team hosted the league championships
for the first time in their 30 year history this summer. The
meet took place at Garfield Park on Saturday, August 5th. The
meet was a huge success. Pinegate placed 7th out of 10 teams.
(Pinegate is the only neighborhood team, competing against city
teams from Lake and Cuyahoga County.) The success of the meet
was due to the hard work and numerous hours spent by many swim
team families. We would also like to recognize and thank the
many swim team alumni that volunteered: organizing the meet
and/or assisted the day of the meet!
