We hope that everyone is enjoying the newsletter. The team is well underway and the swimmers are quickly getting back into shape. We start our racing as a team this weekend with the 12U's kicking it off at both the GMNY Harvest Hunt and RVY Spooky Sprints. Good luck to all our swimmers.

If your child is swimming in an Invitational meet (non-GSCY hosted meet), you may be required to volunteer as a timer! Please review the following information regarding your participation in Invitational meets.
Upcoming Invitational Meets in October (Non-GSCY Hosted Meets)
- GMNY Harvest Haunt
- RVY Spooky Sprints
- Westfield Devilfish
Important Reminders
- Communications for volunteer jobs at Invitational meets will come from gscytiming@gmail.com.
- Please email gscytiming@gmail.com if you are planning on scratching your child.
- You will only be assigned to time in an Invitational session your child is swimming.
- All GSCY families may be assigned to time at Invitational meets a few times a season.
- If your child has committed to swim in an Invitational meet and you know you are unavailable to time, please email gscytiming@gmail.com ASAP before the assignments are communicated! You will be assigned to a meet later in the season. Once the timing assignments go out, you are responsible for finding a replacement if you are assigned.
- If you cannot meet the volunteering obligation, you will be fined (see below for more information). If you need to reach out to other GSCY families, please log in to the website and find the Practice Group Rosters and instructions on contacting members on the website.
- Be prepared to work the entire session.
- Head Timers: the Head Timer is responsible for accounting for all team timers and attending the timers' meetings for any additional information. If a timer does not show up or refuses to time, a head timer must ask another parent to volunteer or fulfill the obligation independently.
Penalties
If a volunteer is assigned and is a NO SHOW, the penalty will be a fine of $100 for the first offense, $150 for the second, and $200 for the third. The fine will be charged to the credit card on file after notification. You will need to find a replacement if you can't fulfill your commitment to avoid a fine.
