GMST Week 1
Happy Summer, GMST Families!
The coaches are so excited to kick off the 2025 season tomorrow! We'll get started with a pancake breakfast—grills will begin flipping pancakes at 8:30 AM. After breakfast, we'll have a brief practice to get our feet wet and ease into the season.
Breakfast Help Needed:
We’re still missing a few breakfast items. If you haven’t already, please consider signing up to bring something—every contribution helps!
For New Swimmers Age 6 & Under:
On Monday, these young athletes will not be getting into the water. We’ve found it’s best to ease them in slowly. We’ll introduce ourselves and do a quick meet-and-greet on land to help them feel comfortable. The first day can be a bit overwhelming, and we want to make their introduction to the team as smooth as possible!
Registration Reminder:
Swimmers cannot participate in practice until their online registration is complete, including payment. If you’re paying by check or cash, please bring it with you on your first day.
Junior Coaches Meeting:
A quick reminder that we'll have a junior coaches meeting tomorrow at noon, right after practice. We hope to see you there!
New This Year:
We’re introducing a Swimmer of the Week award! Each week, four swimmers will be recognized: boys and girls from both the 11 & up and 10 & under groups.
In addition, the coaching staff has set a team goal: 1,000 personal bests this summer! A progress meter in the hallway will track our success and display prizes for every 200 best times achieved.
Let’s make it a great season—see you poolside!
