2024 Swim Team Practice Schedule
The Gehringer Park Swim Team offers training and practice groups for swimmers ages 3-18 and all ability levels. It is the goal of GPST to offer age-specific training for all of our athletes geared towards challenging each individual and developing each swimmer to the best of THEIR abilities.
PLEASE NOTE: The age groups are guidelines and determined by age on June 15th. For practice, a swimmer may be more comfortable swimming up or down an age group according to ability. Those changes need to be discussed with the head coach. For meets all swimmers must swim in the appropriate age group with the exception of relays, swimmers can swim in an older group to complete a relay team.
Mini Gators
Starting at age 3 up to age 6, an athlete need not be able to swim to participate with this group, however, your swimmer must be comfortable in the water and able to follow instructions for safety reasons.
