Swim Free for a Month...Check out our new Incentive Rewards Program

Think about your team’s budget. It will tell you a lot about the priorities the team has selected. The budget also sends a message about the planning or lack of planning for the future. Important considerations include how money is raised, how it is allocated and saving for program enrichment. Do funds raised go into a big black hole to never be spent on the teams athletes?

First of all, the budget must be consistent with your team’s vision, mission, philosophy and goals. What is important to your team? How are you spending your money? For example, if your team mission statement mentions “supporting athletes to the highest levels”, there might be a line item showing that the club pays at least part of the expenses for athletes who compete at the USA Swimming Sectional or National meets.

GCST does only one fundraiser per year called Swim A Thon.  We host several large meets that keep our fees very low and support our swimmers.  It takes all parents to run our events so that we can support our athletes.  Please do your part.  Check out our new  Incentive Rewards Program.  Any family that reaches 75 hours or more will get 1 month free from Program Fees at  the end of the season or when you reach that level. Sign-up online today!
