Hello GBY Family!

Just some quick updates about swim team. First off if you havent checked out the team calendar recently you should now find it updated through the end of Summer. You can see all the practice times. You should also be able to see all the swim meets we are planning to attend. We have a couple that are waiting on approval but they are at least on the calendar so you can plan around them. You should also note that I am trying to plan an over night team weekend to one of the YMCA camps on July 16-18th. Hopefully ill have more info on that soon. 

Stroke clinics are off to a great start we saw a lot of improvement in freestyle this week! Next week we have the Backstroke, Turns, and Breaststroke Clinics.

You can already sign up for the Spring portion of the Spring/Summer season. Reminder that its not a monthly draft this summer but instead a one time fee for May through Mid-June and then another fee for the Summer portion, which will be Mid-June through first week of August. Reminder to check out the practice times as some groups have been adjusted a little. Most groups should see an increase in swim time. 

Gold swimmers some exciting news Kellen the Healthly Living Manager, who is a Certified Personal Training and Nutrition specialist has agreed to host a presentation for the Gold 1 and Gold 2 swimmers on Wednesday May 5th, 2021 at 5:00pm in the Board Room at the downtown Ferguson YMCA. She is going to help give a background for swimmer to better understand Nutrition and its important role especially as an athlete. She is going to work with us to help give swimmers all the tools they need to properly understand and plan out their nutrition for practices and swim meets so they can grow stronger, recovery quicker, and feel better even through the hard practices. 

We have an exciting Summer season ahead of us! Lets go GBY!!!!!
