Team,

Please make note of our regularly scheduled Joint Practices and other adjustments and information for the month of January. As always, when we have joint practices, we would like our swimmers to attend if possible as it helps form unity in our team.

GAC Pre-team families- I do not currently have any adjusted practices for pre-team, so all normal at this point on Wed/Sat unless I contact you with any changes. The kids are doing a fantastic job!!

Weather- With it being January and the possibility of bad weather- whether we cancel or not, please always use your best judgement and do not risk it if you don't feel safe. If we do cancel, it will be communicated as soon as a determination is made.
