If you love to swim and just can't get
enough pool time, joining a swim club may be just the thing. If
you want to learn to swim or improve on your swimming strength and strokes, and
lessons just aren't doing it for you, joining a swim club may be just the thing.
The
Cloverdale Tritons Summer Swim Club offers 3 programs. You may want to consider.
New swimmers
must
show proof of
age, ie., birth certificate or care card.
Summer Swimming This program provides daily swim practices from Monday to Friday (excluding stat holidays), beginning in May at Bear Creek pool, and moving to Greenaway pool when it opens, right through to the middle of August. Practices are run by qualified professional swim coaches. The program also includes entry into all swim meets shown on our Swim Meets page and (if your swimmer qualifies) the Provincial Meet.

Summer Intro Program
Why
do the Tritons have an Intro program?
The
Intro program was developed to bring young new swimmers into the wonderful world
of competitive summer swimming.
What
is it?
The Intro Program last for four weeks is an
hour long- fifteen minutes of stretching and games out of the water and
forty-five minutes of swimming instructional time. At the end of the program we
have a small graduation ceremony for the kids to celebrate their
accomplishments. Unlike swimming lessons where swimmers spend most of the lesson
playing, the Intro Program teaches the four competitive strokes, with a major
focus on Freestyle and Backstroke. Swimmers will also be introduced to dives and
turns. While teaching your swimmers to swim is the main goal of the Intro
Program, getting your children to develop a love for the sport is our first
priority, so every day will include fun activities and games, most of which are
related to the skills they need to learn.
What
does my child need to be able to do?
To
swim in the Intro Program, your child must be comfortable in water and be able
to put their head under, we can take it from there. If your child loves the
water they will quickly succeed and will soon be swimming full stroke.
As
a parent, what can/should I do?
We ask that parents bring their child and
leave them with the coaches each day. Allowing the coaches to work with your
child alone supports the child’s success and is when we see the best results.
We do encourage parents to watch the lesson outside the pool fence. We
also encourage parents to communicate with the coaches daily and Carmen is happy
to share with you, how your child is doing.
Who
is helping my child learn?
Our program provides a unique volunteer
coaching opportunity for our older swimmers which translates to an advantage for your children. For
every two to three children, there will be one experienced swimmer working with
your child to assist in giving feedback and support. Carmen Keller is the Head
coach of the program and creates the practices and guides the learning with the
help of these volunteers.
What
else?
The Intro program is fun for young kids because the swimmers end up feeling very successful. They love progressing from being able to swim two meters to being able to swim a whole length of the pool. They feel proud of themselves, love making new friends, and connecting with their coaches. It is great program and we look forward to meeting your little swimmer.
$160.00
each swimmer
(this fee includes the mandatory BCSSA insurance fee)
Payment schedule - three payments. First cheque will be for $100 made payable on the registration date with the second and third cheques for $30 each, post dated for May 1st and June 1st.
