About the First Colony Gators Swim Team
The First Colony Gators are members of the Southwest Houston Summer Recreational 
Swim League, a group of 20+ teams swimming in Southwest Houston and nearby suburbs.  
The team was started in 1980 with 23 swimmers.  We now have approximately 200 
swimmers on the team every year.  The league is open to swimmers aged 3 to 18 on 
May 31st of the year.  The team practices and hold home meets at the Colony Grant 
Lap pool located at 2475 Robinsons Ferry.
Our season practices start after school the first week in May.  They then move to 
mornings when school ends and continue through mid July.  
We typically have 6 or more coaches who frequently get in the water while teaching 
the younger groups.  This is a great place for your kids to learn to swim.  We have 
literally taught hundreds of kids to swim over the years.
Our meets are on Monday nights starting the first Monday after school ends.  Our 
season consists of six Dual meets (one home meet and one away meet against each of 
three other teams, which make up a division).  The dual meets are followed by a 
division Prelims Meet and a division Finals Meet and finally the fastest swimmers 
from each division compete in a league wide All Star Meet.
