Introduction

The Lumby Swim Club prides itself on being an enjoyable summer experience. Fun and fitness are both priorities in our club. We offer exceptional coaching and exciting social events. We offer opportunities for competitive and non-competitive swimmers to improve their swimming style. This is also a great choice for individuals wanting to maintain their fitness level for winter sports such as hockey, figure skating or skiing.


Practices

The Lumby swim club practices from Mid May until Mid August. All practices take place at the Lumby pool

There are morning and afternoon practices every weekday. See the calendar for the practice schedule. Need a flexible schedule? Ask and we will try to accommodate


Meets

Swimmers can attend selected meets but must attend at least 1 meet to participate in the regional championship meet. See the calendar for the meet schedule.

There is a $30.00 per swimmer entry fee for each meet. Meet fees are due prior to entry deadline for each of the scheduled meets.

Equipment

Swim caps and goggles are recommended and are available to order through the club. Club T-shirts can also be purchased.


Fund raising

Our swim club is a non-profit organization. It is run by parent volunteers and supported by fund raising.

It is important that all parents and members participate in fund raising events. Our fundraisers include hosting a swim meet, bottle drives, catering, BBQs, etc.

All families are asked to provide a $100.00 post dated cheque at registration time as bond for fund raising participation. As long as at least 1 parent participates in 2 fund raising events the cheque will be returned at the end of the season.

A minimum of $50 is due at registration with the remaining due by July 16th. No swimmer is allowed into the pool without registering either as a trial swimmer or as a regular swimmer.
