🐊Lakeside Gators Swim Team is incredibly proud to congratulate our 2025 Coach of the Year, Vivienne Smith on being named to the 2026–2027 LHSAA All-Academic Girls’ Swimming Team, representing Slidell High School with a PERFECT 4.0 GPA! 🎓🏊‍♀️

🌟 Out of all the talented female swimmers across Louisiana, Coach Vivienne is one of only 48 swimmers recognized for their academic excellence—and the ONLY girl from Slidell to earn a spot among these rockstars!

Your dedication, discipline, and commitment to excellence in and out of the pool make you an incredible role model for our Gators. We are so proud to have you as part of our coaching team! 💚💛

RIPPLES Swim School "Intro To Swim" Groups are the perfect entry point for beginning swimmers. Our instructors work one-on-one with your children to develop basic water safety skills with an introduction to basic swimming mechanics.

Thank you Coaches and Lane Assistants for your early mornings, long evenings, endless patience, encouragement, and commitment to helping every swimmer grow. You celebrated every personal best, offered support after every tough race, and inspired our swimmers to believe in themselves.

Your time, energy, and passion are the reason our team continues to succeed. You helped create not only stronger swimmers but also more confident, hardworking, and supportive teammates.

Thank you for making this a memorable season. We are so grateful for each one of you!

💚 Once a Gator, Always a Gator! 🐊💛
