Swimmer registration

The registration period covers September 1st through August 31st. All swimmers (new or returning) must register with Swim Ontario.

Clubs may not register swimmers for the new season until all outstanding fees for the previous season have been paid.

Swimmer categories

There are two categories of swimmers: competitive, entry level (pre-competitive)

Competitive Swimmers may compete in sanctioned competitions. Competitive swimmers may not move down and register as Entry Level. Swimmers may be upgraded from Entry Level to Competitive at any time; however, the difference in fees must be paid.

Transfers from club to club can be done at any time

Transfer forms are required for any swimmer previously registered with another club, no matter how long ago. It is the responsibility of the club registrar to receive this form the swimmer and forward it to Swim Ontario. Until this form is received by Swim Ontario, the Swimmer may train and only compete as Unattached with the new club.

Fees: All fees are based on a 10-month program. September 10, 2012 - July13, 2013.

 

Your fees pay for the training program, not the exact number of pool hours.  A substantial portion of the fees is paid up front to cover deposits on pool time and startup expenses.  There are times where practices are cancelled for meets or to rest athletes after a hard training phase and there are times where extra practices, clinics, etc. are added.  Fees are based on what is required to cover the costs of the program.

Fund Raising.

Club fund raising serves two important purposes. First, it provides revenue that would otherwise have to come from other sources, e.g. membership fees. Second, it gives club members a common goal and activities to build team spirit.

Swim-A-Thon 2012 was held in April. All  raised money were spent for purchase of  timing equipment, which will be used by ALL members of the club.
