New Silver Two Class

After some schedule gymnastics we are happy to share that we have been able to schedule a second Silver Two class for the spring session. The full class schedule is now available on our online schedule via the link below, or the PDF attached. 

Minor Schedule Updates

For currently registered Gold and Bronze swimmers, there is a minor update to the schedule for April 21st. Gold and Bronze classes on this day will be held from 10:45am to 12:00pm rather than the listed "typical" time. This change is also shown in the list of classes available on our online schedule via the link below, or the PDF attached.

Last week, currently registered Gold swimmers were notified of an update to the practice time for Friday's in May and June such that the practice time will now remain the same as in April (5:45-7:00pm). This update is now available in the online schedule via the link below, or the PDF attached.

  • Silver Two (class A): Full
  • Silver Two (class B): 8 spaces
  • Silver One: Full

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.

Assessment Results Info

Assessments are continuing this week and we have opened up a few new spaces. At the end of your assessment you will receive a report card. Because there are very limited spaces remaining in our spring programs you may not get an answer immediately on which level your son or daughter will be eligible for. If this is the case for your assessment, your report card will have a note written on it notifying you that your assessment result will be emailed to you by Sunday April 7th. Otherwise your report card will recommend a level for you to register in and you are welcome to register on Monday when registration opens.

  • 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
