Fees
Registration fees will be about $85 for age group swimmers and $60 for developmental swimmers.

In addition to the above fees, non-Greenbelt residents will have to purchase a Greenbelt Aquatic and Fitness Center (GAFC) membership. The rates are:
$94 Youth/$118 Young Adult (5/28 – 7/31 ONLY). Members can use the pool at no additional cost during this period.

All parents are required to volunteer their time in some way or the other during the course of the season. It is an important part of having a great team that functions well! Those who do not meet the volunteer requirement by the end of the season will incur a $75 charge. Read more about volunteer opportunities here

Spring swim season has officially sprung!

There are crews resurfacing the outdoor pool at the GAFC, and soon it will be filling up with water. Spring must be here! The spring session of swim practices began on Tuesday, April 5th. The open house and swim tests were held last week.

Everyone who signed up for winter/spring is ALL SET to continue swimming. Click here for spring session practice times.

If your swimmer plans to join the team for spring session, and you have not yet registered, please email the registrar, Leah Cohen (rutabaga AT gmail DOT com). There is still space available in all age groups, including developmental swimmers. Registration for spring closes on April 10th.
