Gators, Sharks and Maddogs were among those gathered at the Gregory Seahurst pool in Burien for the annual Southern Division swimming meet Thursday, Aug. 1.
The meet held at the Gregory Seahurst Gators' home facility gave athletes one final tuneup -- and one final chance to qualify -- for Tuesday's Seattle Summer Swim League All-City Meet.
Swimmers and divers will be taking aim at individual and relay wins -- and SSSL records -- at the All-City action for ages 6-18 from teams all the way from Federal Way to North Seattle.
The All-City competition will take place at the Sand Point Country Club in North Seattle this year, with the gates opening at 12:30 p.m. for swimmers, coaches and onlookers alike for a meet that will get underway at 4 p.m.
Sand Point is located at 8333 55th Ave. N.E.
Warm ups will be all that is featured before 4 p.m.
The Normandy Park Sharks will be joined by Gregory Seahurst of Burien and Arbor Heights of West Seattle and White Center in the 2-2:20 p.m. session as the Olympic View Maddogs of Normandy Park await the 2:20-2:40 time slot.
