Spring Skills Class Schedule

We are pleased to share that our Skills Program class schedules are now available for the 2023 Spring Session which will run from mid-April to the Spring Mini Meet on June 23rd. Please note that the pool schedule for all user groups and clubs in North Van changes on May 1st and so the April schedule will look different from the May & June schedule. Attached with this email is a PDF of the schedule with the full details because it is a little complex. The green button to the Online Schedule below will also direct you to this same online version of the PDF. 

• 1x Gold Class
• 1x Silver Two Class
• 1x Silver One Classes
• 1x Bronze Class

First classes start on Tues, April 16th and go until the Spring Mini Meet on June 23rd.

Spring Skills Registration

With our schedules now posted, we are now able to share with you the registration opening dates:

• Returning Swimmers: Wednesday March 20th
• New Swimmers:  Monday April 8th

The different classes will open at the usual staggered times:

• Gold: 10:00am
• Silver Two: 10:20am
• Silver One: 10:40am
• Bronze: 11:00am

You may notice that we are only able to offer one Silver One class this session. This is because we have less pool time during the spring when other summer pool user groups start to use the pool more and take some time away from us. Available space in our programs will be lower for the Spring Session and often the programs become full quickly. To ensure you get a spot we highly recommend registering as soon as you can once registration opens.

If you are not successful getting in for the spring session, we encourage you to try and join us in the summer or fall. At those times of year we have more pool time and are able to accommodate more swimmers. For details about our summer schedule scroll down.

Registration Confirmation

Please note that your registration is not confirmed until we receive your e-transfer payment in full. Please submit your payment promptly after completing your registration to secure your spot.

Assessments

Before registering for a Chena Skills class your child must be assessed or recommended for a class. Below are the dates that we currently have open for an assessment.

• April 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 7th

See the sign up sheet (big button below) for specifics about time and pool location. Please note that we may email you to adjust your assessment time a few days before the assessment to ensure that we have swimmers assess with other children their age.

Summer with Chena

Here is the schedule for the 2024 summer season with Chena:

• New Swimmer Assessments for Summer June 17th to 28th 
• Returning Swimmer Summer Registration Tuesday June 25th
• New Swimmer Summer Registration Thursday June 28th
• July OFF - no swimming
• Summer Assessments for any late summer registrations August 8-12th
• Summer Skills Session - Gold & Silver Classes August 12th-30th 
• Summer 13&U Competitive Summer Camp #1 - August 19-23rd*
• Summer 13&U Competitive Summer Camp #2 - August 26-30th*
• Summer Skills Mini Meet August 30th
• Regular Season - Annual & Fall Assessment Period start after labour day.
• Fall Skills Session approximate start Oct 1st. 

At this time we do not have a pool schedule for August yet. We will typically receive our pool schedules by June 1st. When we finalize the schedule for August we will share it here in the newsletter. 

The Competitive Summer Camp is open to swimmers who are currently in the annual program (Junior/Youth programs). The camp also is welcome to swimmers from other swim clubs who have competitive experience (Cruisers/NSWC/etc.). Current skills swimmers do not qualify for this program and are instead eligible for Gold or Silver classes. 

Bronze is not offered over the summer session. We look forward to welcoming Bronze swimmers back to the pool for the fall session.

If there are any questions about any of our programs, reach out to me by reply email and I will do my best to answer them. I look forward to hopefully seeing you all very soon!

Cheers,

George Hill
Lead Junior Coach | Chena Swim Club
