The weather forecast is calling for SNOW! When there is inclement weather, team practices are canceled if the pool is closed. You can find out the status of the pool by calling the number below. The pool cancels classes if PGCPS close early, or if there is a snow day, and that includes swim team practice. No school, no swim.

In the event of inclement weather, please call the weather hotline at (301) 474-0646 to hear the status of operating hours and classes for all Recreation Department Facilities.

To view GMST’s inclement weather policy, check out our Policies page.

Swim team returns from its fall hiatus on Tuesday! As our registrar mentioned in her message yesterday, returning families can drop off forms at the front desk of the pool. In-person registration will be on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:15pm-6pm in the observation area of the pool. New families should register then, as well as any returning families who want to register in person. The combined Winter/Spring session runs from January 5th to May 15th. We will have a separate registration on March 22 for those families who want to register for the Spring session only. The fee for 1/2 session is $75. The Spring session starts on April 5th, following the PGCPS spring break.
