Welcome, Gators! 🐊
Calling all swimmers—come make a splash with the Grand Ridge Gators Swim Team for the Summer 2026 season! Registration is open to all youth swimmers up to 18 years old. Swimmers must be able to swim independently and complete the 25-meter length of the pool with only minimal stops.
This exciting season will include four dual meets, followed by the League Championship Meet at the end of June. To qualify for the championship, swimmers must participate in at least two regular dual meets during the season.
The Grand Ridge Gators are proudly led by head coach Katie Ayo, a lifelong community member and former competitive swimmer. Katie previously swam for the Willowdale Country Club Swim Team for many years and is thrilled to return to the pool deck as head coach. Her goal this season is to help every swimmer grow stronger, build confidence, and achieve success in and out of the water.
Joining Coach Katie are assistant coaches Annie Onstad and Allison Swayze, both experienced swimmers who bring years of knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication to the team. Together, this coaching staff is excited to develop not only strong swimmers, but also an even stronger sense of community within Grand Ridge.
We hope you’ll join us this summer and help make the 2026 season our best one yet!
