ASSESSMENT and REGISTRATION
Assessment:
To register for any Piranhas program, your swimmer must either first complete an assessment or be an existing swimmer. Assessments are done to ensure swimmers are placed in the correct group for their skill level.
As a reminder, anyone under 7 years old must have a parent/guardian in the pool with them.
When:
-
Winter Swim Program:
-
Sign up using the link below for an assessment to join our Winter Maintenance Program.
Assessments are scheduled for September 12, 2026 at Panorama. Please note that swimmers must be able to swim 25 metres (one length of the pool) unassisted and without stopping before registering for an assessment. If your child is currently enrolled in swimming lessons, we recommend joining the waitlist once they reach Swimmer 3. Due to large waitlists and limited group space, registering for an assessment does not guarantee an assessment appointment or a spot in the program. You will be contacted if space becomes available.

Registration:
Due to high demand for spaces in our program the Saanich Peninsula Piranhas Swim Club will use the following priority list for registrations in Winter Maintenance and our Summer Competitive season.
-
Current season swimmers
-
Siblings of current season swimmers
-
Returning previous season swimmers following reassessment
-
Everyone else
Registration priority will be given to swimmers who plan to participate in both the Winter Maintenance Program and the Piranhas Summer Swimming Program.
*Note: All swimmers new to the program including siblings will need to be assessed to determine if they are ready to join and for group placement. This also includes swimmers that have missed a season.
Emails will be sent to all swimmers in groups based on priority and given a deadline to declare their intent to swim in the current session. Swimmers who have declared their intent to swim and don’t register and pay their fees will forfeit their spot, giving another swimmer a chance to register.
