Hello! Just a couple of things to be aware of for this 2022 season:

1. Our Member price for one swimmer is $175, the next swimmer is $160 and the three or more swimmers is $135 each.

2. An individual and team picture is scheduled for June 8th at 8:00am at the pool and is included with the registration fees.

3. We will also have the technique clinics for $95 which includes 6 sessions of stroke, starts and turn lessons lasting 75 minutes per session. The Head Coach and one assistant are available with hands-on in the water support. The clinics are held on Mondays only from 8:00-9:45am. The dates are June 6th, June 13th, June 20th, June 27th, July 12th and July 18th (no clinic on July 4th due to holiday). A minimum of 10 people is required and there is a maximum of 20 allowed.

4. Private Lessons will also be offered at $30 for 30 minutes - stay tuned for the days and times as this depends on the interest level.

5. Once we get the volunteer hours figured out then we ask for a $300 deposit. If you meet all of your volunteer shifts for the season, then we simply shred the check. Examples of shifts are timing, runner, concessions, heating etc...We have a volunteer coordinator that organizes that part and she will go over specifics later.

6. We will have a mandatory parent meeting with the Coach on May 15th; two sessions are available for your convenience at 3:45 and 4:45 at the Club. This is when we will collect the $300 volunteer deposit check.

7. We will also have a swim suit fitting with Out of Breath Sports at the pool on May 18th from 3:30 - 5:30pm. BC Team suits or gear such as sweatshirts & sweatpants (which are not required) will be available for order.

8. The Coach will assign the morning practice times for each swimmer based on maturity and skill level after the evening practices are underway. We will try our best to keep family members together for practices but we can not guarantee it.

9. If you are still interested in helping on our committees, please let us know!

You will find lots of details at bearcreekbears.swimtopia.com and we will send emails out from SwimTopia as needed throughout the season.

See you on the deck soon!
