Hello GVST Families,

We are excited for the upcoming 2021 GVST program.

Here is important information you need to know:

• DATES - The GVST swim team clinic schedule begins Monday, April 12th / Tuesday, April 13th and goes until the end of July.
• SUMMER SCHEDULE - Please note that practice times will shift from afternoons/evenings to mornings starting on June 28th.
• PERSONALIZED CAPS/PHOTOS Please fill in this form if you are interested in ordering personalized silicone swim caps and/or having individual photos taken of your swimmer(s).
• TOWELS & SHOES - All swimmers will be asked to place their towels/shoes on the side planter and to maintain distance when placing/retrieving their items.
• SUNSCREEN & CHANGING - Please arrive at the pool with suits on and sunscreen already applied. No changing in the bathroom.
• ENTERING - There will be distanced spots marked on the concrete in front of the pool entrance. Please ask your child to stay on one of these spots until a coach opens the gate and then keep distance from other swimmers when walking to their lane.
• EXITING - After practice is completed, swimmers are asked to exit the pool area while maintaining distance through the gate near the restrooms.
• SHOWERS & RESTROOMS - The showers are off-limits at present. Bathrooms are open for swimmers, but please encourage kids to use the restroom at home before heading to practice.
• ON DECK - Only coaches and swimmers are allowed on the pool deck.
• SOCIAL DISTANCE - We ask that parents and other family members waiting outside of the pool wear masks and maintain social distancing.
• SWIMSUITS - All swimmers must wear a competition style suit to practice. For boys, this means a jammer or speedo and for girls, this means a one-piece. If we are able to hold meets later in the year, league rules require swimmers wear matching team suits or an all black suit. If you need examples of competition suits or would like to purchase one for your swimmer, please visit the GVST team page below. Team code is GVST

• SWIM MEETS - We are planning to hold virtual meets in June. Specifics for how these will work are still being discussed with the league. Most likely, these will take place during normal practice times on Fridays and Saturdays. We are also discussing modified, in person meets for the month of July. These will be optional. We hope to have more information to share with you soon.

Thank you,

Jim and Scott
