The Quarry Gators swim team was created to introduce children to the sport of swimming in a positive and relaxed atmosphere. This program is a great source for stroke development, sportsmanship, and school-year fun and also serves as a segue into competitive swimming. Many of our coaches are former Quarry Gators and all have varied backgrounds in competitive and fitness swimming. Their job is to identify and support the individual needs of our swimmers and help them reach their goals.

The mission of the Lakeside Quarry Gators is to have fun and build lasting relationships while developing the necessary tools to use swimming as a lifetime fitness activity.
