The season concluded on July 20, 2019 at the Tri-Valley Swim League Championship Swim Meet at Las Positas College where the Green Gators successfully defended their 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. The Junior Green Gator Swim Team also had another successful year.
