Practice Information
Practices are Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 5:30-7:00am at Grosse Pointe South High School. We rent pool time from Grosse Pointe Public Schools. School events take priority over Gators practices and events. Additionally, practices may be cancelled for observed holidays, and weather related school closures. We will try and give you as much notice as we can when there is a change in the schedule. See the practice schedule on the website for specific dates and times and any changes that may occur.
