Dublin Green Gators Swim Team Wins Championships For 5th Year

DUBLIN, CA — The City of Dublin's recreational swim team has once again taken the crown at the Tri-Valley Swim League Championships. Held Saturday at Las Positas College, the Dublin Green Gator Swim Team took the championship for the fifth consecutive year beating out second-place finishers Pleasanton Meadows Sharks.

The Gators came into the big weekend with a dual meet record of 7-0. With Saturday's victory, the team notched a 39-meet winning streak.

Despite the triumphs, the team insists winning is not the main purpose of its program.

"The goal of the Dublin Green Gators Swim Team is that each participant will develop a lifelong positive attitude toward swimming," according to the team's website. During the season, individual skill development, goal setting, recreational competition and most importantly, fun are all stressed, according to the team.

"Years from now, it is hoped that team members will look back fondly on the fun they had at practices and meets, the new friends they made, the excitement of the competitions and the successes and disappointments they shared with fellow teammates, coaches and family," the team's website reads. "Being the best is not as important as trying your best."
