GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The arena Pro Swim Series came to an end over the weekend, making stops in Austin, Texas; Indianapolis, Indiana; Mesa, Arizona; Atlanta, Georgia; and Santa Clara, California. Sixteen present and past Gator swimmers appeared in the series, including 11 (eight current Gators and three alumni) in Santa Clara.

The series served as an opportunity to prepare for July's FINA World Championships and, with many current Gators done with the spring semester, a chance to swim meters.

Gators who competed in any of the five stops include:
