Summer Swimming Assessments - March 11
New swimmers to our program must attend an assessment date to determine which group would best suit them. Group placement is determined by swimming ability and social/emotional age. Returning swimmers wanting to register for summer swimming who did not swim this winter must also attend an assessment for group placement.
We do not currently hold a waitlist. We hope to be able to accommodate all swimmers who attend the assessment for our summer program.
Assessment dates for Summer Swimming 2023 Intake is March 11th, 2023- 4:30-6:30pm
IMPORTANT - please review the assessment document for more information.
