Water SAFETY CHECK

 Welcome to the Westgate Swim Team website, home of the Gators!  The pull-down menu at the top of the page will direct to you other sections and information about Practice Schedules, Covid Protocols, parent duties, Swim Meet schedule and more. 

Our Philosophy is for young swimmers to develop a love for the sport, improve aquatic skills, as well as learn about the importance of teamwork and the principles of good sportsmanship. The coaches' philosophy is for the swimmers to have fun as they develop stamina and fitness. 

 The Westgate Swim Team has had a successful recreational swim program for over 40 years (Gators History and records). Our trained, certified, and experienced coaches are dedicated to making swimming fun, while building youngsters' endurance and improving aquatic technique  

Rain or shine: We will hold swim team practice in any weather, unless there is lightning!
