General Information

  • We are a self operating club.

     
  • Our goals are fitness fun and friendship with a healthy mix of competition for those interested in taking part in swim meets.

     
  • We are affiliated with Masters Swimming Ontario (MSO).

     
  • Our swim season runs from mid-September through to the end of August with breaks over Christmas and the March school break.
  •  
  • We offer different session. Last two seasons our Saturday workshop - working more on techniques - was a great success. This season we added the Friday Night session with focus on longer distances and technique.

     

    While we encourage new members to join our club provided space is available, we also need to ensure that new members can be accommodated within a lane of swimmers with similar skill & speed abilities. New members are asked to review the minimum new swimmer requirements (on this website) before coming to a practice.

    Members must be 18+ years of age. The club is not designed as a learn-to-swim program. Swimmers need to be able to swim a minimum of 200 yards/meters without stopping and be able to complete a 50 meter swim in less than 90 seconds. Average practice distance is between 2500 - 3500 meters. We have a mix of members including those who are competitively focused and general fitness, along with a number of multi-sport athletes.

    In addition to the regular workouts (with excellent on-deck coaching), we offer many club social events including an annual wine & cheese party, ski day, golf days, cycling trip / Island Picnic and our annual Gator Pentathlon Swim Meet. For those interested in competition, there are regularly scheduled meets throughout the GTA & Southern Ontario.
