fifth consecutive championship title. This win capped an undefeated dual meet season
and also extended their undefeated record to 38 consecutive dua l meet wins over the
last five seasons.

Gators is a non-competitive companion program to the Green Gators swim program that
practices three days per week with two exhibition swim meets each season to track
