2026 Swim Team Practice Schedule

The Gehringer Park Swim Team offers training and practice groups for swimmers ages 3–18 of all ability levels. GPST’s goal is to provide developmentally appropriate, ability-based training that challenges each swimmer individually and supports their growth to the best of their abilities.

PLEASE NOTE: Practice groups are determined primarily by swimmer ability, with age used as a general guideline and for safety considerations. A swimmer may practice in a group above or below their age based on skill level, comfort, and coach evaluation. Any practice group adjustments must be discussed and approved by the Head Coach.

For swim meets, swimmers must compete in their official age group as determined by age on June 15, in accordance with league rules. The exception is relays, where swimmers may be placed in an older age group as needed to complete a relay team.

Practice times and group placements may be adjusted throughout the season based on registration numbers, swimmer safety, swimmer ability, and the need to balance the number of swimmers in the water.

Mini Gators

This program is for swimmers ages 3–6 who are new to the water or still developing their swimming skills. Swimmers do not need to be able to swim independently to participate; however, they must be comfortable in the water and able to listen to and follow instructions to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
