Introducing MeetStarter!

We Love Showcasing Your Swimmers!

We had an amazing time broadcasting FLAGs this past weekend in Gainesville. Each night we brought the action live to over 1,000 viewers worldwide.

Yep! We had people tuned in from Brazil, Puerto Rico, Ireland, and across the United States. And best yet, many of those people got to chat with us, sending shout outs on air to their young athletes as they battled the best in the state!

Will You Help Us Continue the Show?

We want to continue promoting Florida's swimmers, coaches, and club teams but we need your help to offset our travel, lodging, and equipment expenses. So, we've createdMeetStarter to tap into the power of crowdsourcing. If each one of our viewers chipped in, we'd have it covered in no time! 

We work hard to make our broadcasts the very best. In addition to having special guest commentators, like Coaches Clay Parnell (PA) and Ron Turner (BW), we also had former Gator football player and now Fox Sports commentator James Bates (GSC swim parent) commentate a session with Olympic swimmer Elizabeth Beisel! (Where else will an 11-year-old have the opportunity to have his race called by such pros?)
We also love supporting swim families. We gave Autumn and Summer Finke a chance to commentate their brotherBobby Finke's effort to make a nationals cut in the 1500 Free. And while he didn't quite get it, Bobby did set a new FLAGS record during the attempt! We were proud to have Autumn and Summer calling the action - what a unique opportunity for all involved! And our viewers got to hear Autumn's perspective on swimming in college.
In addition to the nightly live stream, we teamed with Swimming World to give even further exposure for these young swimmers! During each broadcast, we chose one or two swims that stood out and Swimming World then featured them on their website.

What Can You Do to Help Us?


Many parents have said they want to support Florida Swim Network, but they didn't know we needed the help. So, we are asking you to help get word out about ourcampaign to fund our live stream for Senior Champs. Forward this email to other parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, coaches, and anyone who might want to tune in this weekend to Senior Champs. Then they can go to our MeetStarter to donate.

Just $10 will go a long way and so we thank you in advance for helping spread word!
