What is the Salmon Kings swim schedule like?
The Salmon Kings are a Summer Swim Club, and thus it is our busiest time. Depending on age and skill, we offer anywhere from 3-6 practices per week. We are a fun club and are pretty easy going! During the "off" season we conduct winter maintenance, where the swimmers can swim up to 2 hours per week. Thus, we swim on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from September to April.
How often do we have to attend swim meets?
No one HAS to attend meets. We have some swimmers that just like to come to practice and do the fun things we do during the summer. We have others that attend every meet, and then we have some that pick and choose which to attend. How many meets, and which meets to attend is totally up to the swimmer and the family.
How much fundraising is required of me, as the parent?
Our only fundraising requirement right now is the sale of 100$ worth of raffle tickets. Additionally, we request 1 parent/caregiver volunteer at our home meet in July.
How much are fees?
Fees can change from year to year, depending on the club costs for the pool times, etc. Our current summer registration fee is 375$, regardless of age. Our Winter Maintenance fee is 115$ per day swam. Swimmers can swim less or more depending on their needs. So a swimmer swimming once per week will pay 115$ for one session per week (Sept-Dec or Jan-Apr), or 230$ if they want to swim twice per week.
What equipment does my child need?
They need a suit, goggles and a towel. Nice and simple! To compete at swim meets, we also recommend team caps, which can be ordered upon registration through our ACTIVE portal.
How do I know which Swim Division my child is in?
Swim Divisions are determined by your swimmer's age. A link to the BCSSA 2024 Age Locator document is below. Find your swimmers birth year and birth month on the right hand columns of the grid and their swim division and approximate ages are indicated to the left. The BCSSA Age Locator is available in the file below.
