Good Afternoon!

We are excited that Shark School and Swim Lessons begin this week. 

First - Note that if you signed up for Shark school morning classes - for this first session at least - we are combining those into one group beginning at 9:30am.

Second - you should have received general information in your confirmation email.  You must be registered online in order to participate in these programs.  For the first lesson, please arrive 15-30 minutes early as we have a waiver to complete and may need to take care of some fees/payments if you haven't already. NOTE: Checks must be made out to GPRA (Gulf Park Recreation Association).  At the start of the first lesson this week we will have a brief parent meeting. 

Third - here is some general information for the season.

CANCELLATIONS AND TEXT ALERT SYSTEM
We swim in the rain! However, thunder and lightning can cause a delay, so a stormy day could cancel lessons. If there is a cancelation, we'll notify you via text and Facebook. Assume the practice is ON until official word is sent.

Subscribe to text alerts (note – new this year – RainedOut is charging a $7.30 annual fee to subscribers for text alert – you will have to opt in to that charge/service) – note that facebook and email messages remain free of charge : Text GPSHARKS to 84483 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/GPBlueSharks
