Float & Toast: Celebrating 35 Years of GGTC!

This summer, we’re celebrating 35 years of GGTC the right way — floating down the Russian River and toasting with wine in Sonoma! Join us for a full day of good vibes, great people, & beautiful scenery.

Here’s how the day breaks down if you're joining BOTH the river float & Taft:

8:00am: Bus departs Sports Basement Presidio
Morning: Float the Russian River (you are responsible for bringing your own flotation device!)
12:00–3:00pm: Taft Street Winery — wine tasting, bocce ball, & lunch
~4:30pm: Back in the city

Want to skip the float and just join for the winery? Come meet us at Taft Street Winery from 12-3pm for lunch, outdoor games, & great vibes all around! In this case, you are responsible for getting yourself up to Taft Street Winery but lunch, wine, & vibes will still be provided :)

Costs:

Float AND Taft: $25 (bus, food, & drinks included!) -- only 52 spaces available
Taft food/wine only: $10

Please reach out to Molly Bamberger on Slack with any questions. See you on the river!

This is a coached workout, not a "learn to swim" lesson. You should be able to swim 100 yards continuously at minimum.
Because we only have limited spots, registration will only open on the Monday of the same week as the swim practice.
Please do NOT bring bikes inside the building at all. All bicycles must remain completely outdoors (including out of any courtyard areas). We are aware these are expensive bikes and often targeted for theft so either use really robust locks or leave them safely locked up elsewhere and travel to the pool by other means.
Food is prohibited. No food in locker rooms or on deck.
Attendance is limited to active participants and coaches. No spectators in the building at this time.
If it is your first time swimming doing masters, email swim@ggtc.org or send a message to Jojo on Slack to get information on entrance location, lane assignment, and swim etiquette before showing up.
Please show up at 8:20am for a prompt 8:30am workout start time

We ask that you show up

We require members with a confirmed registration to show up for Sunday swims (over the summer only). If you have a confirmed swim slot and do not show up (no-show), we’ll ask you to pay $20 into the “swim fund jar” before you can sign up for more swims. If you cancel a confirmed slot anytime on Thursday, we will ask you to pay $10 into the swim fund jar before signing up for more swims.

If you have a confirmed Sunday swim registration, show up or cancel by midnight on Friday.
If you are on the waitlist and unable to swim, let us know in #swim or by emailing swim@ggtc.org by midnight on Friday.

[Swim] Garfield Masters Swim (Thu, September 10, 2026)

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:50:00 GMT

Join us for a coached set with our swim coach JD at Garfield Pool every Thursday at 5:50pm. Please note the following:

This is a coached workout, not a "learn to swim" lesson. You should be able to swim 100 yards continuously at minimum.
Because we only have limited spots, registration will only open on the Monday of the same week as the swim practice.
Please do NOT bring bikes inside building at all. All bicycles must remain completely outdoors (including out of any courtyard areas). We are aware these are expensive bikes and often targeted for theft so either use really robust locks or leave them safely locked up elsewhere and travel to the pool by other means.
Food is prohibited. No food in locker rooms or on deck.
Attendance is limited to active participants and coaches. No spectators in the building at this time.
If it is your first time swimming at Garfield, email swim@ggtc.org or send a message to Jojo on Slack to get information on entrance location, lane assignment, and swim etiquette before showing up.
Please show up at 5:50pm for a prompt 6p workout start time

We ask that you show up

If you have a confirmed Thursday swim registration, show up or cancel by midnight on Wednesday.
If you are on the waitlist and unable to swim, let us know in #swim or by emailing swim@ggtc.org by midnight on Wednesday.

For more information, please see ggtc.org/thursday-swim-registration.

Please email (swim@ggtc.org) or slack Jojo if you have any questions!
