  • CHECK OUT THE UPDATED GNST SHORT-COURSE RECORDS! Click the link on the left! Please email J.L. Vertin at jl.vertin@doane.edu if your swimmer breaks a new record or if you notice any mistakes. Congratulations to all the swimmers that have already broken team records in the first 2 meets!
     
  • All practices for 6:30 to 8:00 groups at LE/LHS will be at Lincoln East (Monday-Thursday). Due to construction, please enter through the SOUTH doors (instead of the North). There will be no practice for this group Friday, October 31st so that kids can participate in Trick or Treating or other Fall Festivities.
     
  • Let’s Carpool…
    To try and keep our fees as low as we can, we would appreciate volunteers to let our coaches carpool with our families to travel swim meets. If you would be willing to let a coach ride with you on out-of-town meets, please let Cal know at calswim@neb.rr.com.  Thanks!!

  • Reminder... Wesleyan Weary Center Facility Rules:
    Please do not wait for your swimmers in the handicapped parking spots by the south side of the pool. If there is not a non-handicapped parking spot available, it has been suggested that parents double park in the lot across from the pool and move if someone needs out.

    The glass doors into the pool are not to be used as entry or exit doors. Swimmers need to enter using the tower doors by the information desk and can exit through the doors south of the weight room.

Our Mission:

The mission of the Greater Nebraska Swim Team is to embrace all levels of swimmers providing each and every athlete with the best possible environment and resources that will allow them to set goals and progress from novice to the highest levels of competition. Although GNST strives to develop champion swimmers, the organization measures success not only in terms of tangible awards like swimming championships and college scholarships, but also by personal improvement. GNST seeks to provide an opportunity for all swimmers, regardless of age or ability, from Learn to Swim through masters, to reach their highest personal potential as both a person and athlete. We are committed to helping our athletes develop the character, self-discipline, and skills to succeed not only in swimming but also academically and in life.
