An Aquablade may be worn so long as it is the normal suit and not a Kneeskin. Normal suits only! Normal team...

Hello GBY Family! Some quick updates as we head into a long weekend! #1-There is still time to sign up for our home meet! Please if you havent sign up yet head to our website and get your swimmer signed up. This is at our home pool and is a great opportunity for all swimmers of all abilities. It really helps us write appropriate practices for you swimmers beacause swim meets give us valuable data of were your child's current abilites are. Racing at a meet is just so different...

Everyone did a fantastic job this season. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful team. I have enjoyed watching the swimmers grow over this winter season. Each group did an incredible job and there was a lot of improvement this season in both technique and times! We worked hard and had some fun along the way and I am very excited for what the future holds! We are taking a two week break for most groups. Monday March 29, 2021-Friday April 9, 2021....

Hello GBY Family! Its very exciting to be able to host a swim meet again and cant wait to see how everyone does tomorrow! We have been doing really well but with a large group attending this meet and it just being one session now would be a good time to go over some reminders about staying safe during the pandemic for both tomorrow meet and for practices especially now that the YMCA is open later and swimmers can enter without the coach at the door. Here are some safety...

I am going to cancel tomorrow night’s Stroke Clinic (200 Race Strategy) and reschedule it for next Wednesday night, from 7-8:30pm at the DT Y. I have had a number of people comment on running the Stroke Clinic against the home Packer Game. So I will gladly make a change. If any year round swimmers would like to practice tomorrow I can give you two lanes tomorrow from 4-5:30pm at the DT Y during my Silver Sharks class.
