About the Chapel Gate Gators Swim Team
The Gators are a member of the North Hills Summer Swim League and compete in the Silver Team division. Whether you are a beginning swimmer or have been swimming for years, we'd love to have you be a part of the team! All members ages 5-17 are invited to join- we're looking forward to a great season of sun and swimming!
The focus of our team is to introduce kids to competitive swimming while giving them the skills and confidence they need to become strong swimmers. Swim team is a great way to make friends, be active and have fun! All skills levels are welcome, but it is helpful if swimmers are able to swim a full length of freestyle.
Cost to participate:
Under 13: $90 each
13 Years and Older: $50 each - Join us for practice or meets only, your choice.

Swim Meets are on Tuesday & Thursday evenings in June and July. We would love to have every swimmer swim at as many meets as possible. All swimmers must be registered for meets two days prior to each meet. Meet information and meet registration reminders are routinely sent out via weekly emails.

Volunteers
We rely on adult volunteers for both the home and away meets to run smoothly. You do not need experience to sign-up. A volunteer sign-up link will be added once the schedule is posted.
In addition, all home meets include a bake sale and we ask for family contributions as this directly benefits the team.
