re: 2018 GCP Summer Swimming!

We are very excited and pleased to announce that the 2018 Summer Swim Team will be hosted again by the Garden City Piranhas (GCP)! 

This will be GCP’s sixth year managing, and the 13th summer for the program & coaches!  We’re looking forward to a *FANTASTIC* season, with warm weather and sunny days! 

***Families interested in enrolling their swimmer(s) may contact Diane for availability; our GCP Coordinator can be reached directly here: info@gc-ac.ca !***

Our season begins on Monday, July 9th and ends Friday, August 17th! Throughout the regular season we will be attending three inter-league meets, culminating with a Regional Championship.  ***REMINDER***Athletes who join us during the year must swim as "exhibition" during the NRSSL swim meets. They will still receive ribbons though!

:~LEAGUE REMINDERS~:
The N.R.S.S.L. voted to make some changes in swimmer eligibility.

The league decided that ANY swimmer who swims in ANY learn-to-swim program in ANY capacity (non-competitive or competitive) during the calendar year-regardless of how many hours per week they swim- are ineligible to participate in the league Championships.

Swimmers affected: high school swimmers, any swimmer enrolled in GCAC or like program (teen swim at Brock or the Boys & Girls club, etc.).  Swimmers who took swimming lessons from a municipality for no more than 3 hours per week are eligible to compete!


We're excited to see everyone again this summer after another busy year!  We're going to have a fantastic time!  See you all soon!
