Summer Season Requirements

All swimmers must be able to swim 25 meters continuously and unassisted.

During the first week of practice, if your child does not appear to meet the requirements they may be removed from the program at the Head Coaches’ discretion. In this case, a full refund will be given minus the insurance/registration fees.

For younger swimmers who are still developing their endurance we recommend our Jr Whalers program!

*During the summer, we have daily practices that do not account for separate streams.

New Gear Requirements

This summer season, we highly recommend that athletes have their own gear. Having personal gear is recommended for swimmers in Division 2 and up, and required for senior athletes and those swimming in the third hour.

Coach Recommended Gear List:

Goggles
Swim cap
Short Flippers
Pull-buoy
Paddles
Mesh Gear Bag

Don't forget to make your gear identifiable by writing your name, initials, or personalize with stickers!

Extra gear is available if absolutely needed, but limited!
