The Summer Team program ends on August 28th. If you are a Summer Team swimmer and want to continue or move onto the Annual Team in the Bronze Group, you will need to re-register through the Online Registration System. Annual Registration is $100 for existing members and includes a 2015 USA Swimming Membership that is good until December 2015. That's $25 cheaper than new members will pay. Summer Team swimmers must register by Sept. 1st to continue swimming with the team.

The 2015 registration system is now open for all existing team members. All existing Annual GCST members must register for 2015 by November 30th. The fee is $100 with discounts given for multi child families when registering all at the same time. All Summer Team families that want to continue attending practice after August 28th, must register before Sept. 1st. The registration fee will increase on December 1st to $125. REGISTER NOW HERE
