Registration Priority Policy
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.
The tables below outline the priority levels depending on which session you are registering for.
Priority Level Registration for Winter Maintenance
1st Most recent summer session
2nd Most recent winter session
3rd Siblings of registered swimmers*
4th General Public*
Priority Level Registration for Summer Competitive
1st Most recent winter session
2nd Most recent summer session
3rd Siblings of registered swimmers*
4th General Public*
*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.
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 in Active will forfeit their spot, giving another swimmer a chance to register.
A wait list will be set up for the general public to declare their interest and will be organized on a first come first served basis.
Assessments are required for all swimmers new to the program to determine group placement.
Cancellation Policy
Please note that the following policy is in effect: A swimmer will not have their fees reimbursed if they choose to discontinue their membership with the club unless they have a medical reason for doing so. Notice of a medical reason must be given in writing to the club registrar. Special circumstances may be submitted to the Board of Directors for consideration of requests for fee credits.
For NEW swimmers only, a two-week trial period is offered with the option of withdrawing from the club with a full refund minus the insurance fee of $23 and a $50 processing fee.
