Where are we located?
Currently, we only offer the school program at Commonwealth Pool and Juan de Fuca. However, we plan to expand this to include the Panorama Pool in Brentwood and possibly Sooke Seaparc depending on interest and registration numbers.

Who can take part in this program?
All public and private Elementary and Middle schools on Southern Vancouver Island are invited to apply for this program. 
For safety reasons, we suggest students have a minimum of Swim Kids Level 6 or be able to complete one length of the 25 metre pool. However, we leave it up to each school to decide the minimum age or grade level for their swim team. 

What is required from the school?

Each school is required to provide at least one teacher or sponsor who must attend all practices. A teacher from each school must also be prepared to attend all swim meets and supervise their student swimmers.

Schools should have volunteers to assist with transporting students and to help out on deck during swim practices as required.

Estimated registration numbers need to be provided prior to starting the program and should be finalized by the third swim practice.

Schools are required to submit their own entries for the school swim meets.

Program costs are the responsibility of the school.  Please enquire for fees at your preferred pool.

A Team Roster must be brought to the first practice and should also be submitted by email to; adminoffice@islandswimming.com  

When does the school program run?

All public and private Elementary and Middle schools on Southern Vancouver Island are invited to apply for this program

The program can start as early as November and runs through to the beginning of March.  We recommend that school start no later than the middle of November to allow 12-14 practice sessions prior to Championships. 

Schools are asked to indicate their preferred weeks on the registration form.
