COVID Rules and Recommendations for Fall 2021
GMST Fall 2021 COVID Protocol are based on GAFC rules and recommendations being used in other local winter swimming facilities. These are subject to change following changes in State, County, and City mandates.
GMST’s Non-Discrimination Policy
GMST is an inclusive community that follows the City of Greenbelt’s ADA/Non-Discrimination policy. We do not discriminate against any member of the public because of race, color, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, marital status, national origin, veterans status, physical or mental disability or perceived disability, or other criteria protected by law.
Parent Code of Conduct
GMST is a friendly, supportive team, but with 100 families with diverse backgrounds, sometimes minor “things” happen and it is good to understand the process for handling them. Please take a moment to read the Parent Code of Conduct now.
Coaches’ Code of Conduct
GMST expects its coaches to set a good example, not only for swimmers and parents on the team, but also for other teams. The guidelines for their conduct are documented in the Coaches’ Code of Conduct.
Inclement Weather Policy
During weekday practices, the team follows the P.G. County Schools calendar for closings and cancellations.
- If school is canceled or there’s an early release, swim team practice will be canceled.
- If PGCPS cancels all afternoon and evening activities, practice will be canceled.
- If PGCPS has a late arrival, the swim team will hold practice as scheduled.
For Sunday practices, the team’s governing board will monitor weather reports and send out email via GMSTmembers to alert parents of cancellations. Emails may be sent as late as early Sunday morning, so please do not select Daily Digest as option to receive emails or you may not receive vital information in a timely manner.
In the event of inclement weather, please call the Greenbelt weather hotline at (301) 474-0646 to hear the status of operating hours and classes for all Greenbelt Recreation Department Facilities.
