2010 ~ HIGH RIVER OTTERS SWIM CLUB!!
Mission Statement
We are a family orented, competiteve swim club. Our goals are to build an active, healthy community, foster team spirit, and provide opportunities to imporve swim stroke and personal race times for swimmers of all ages.
Opportunities:
This is a place to become a strong lifelong swimmer, learn self discipline, commitment, healthy eating, team work and good sportsmanship.
-
There is a trial period for new swim club members. If, at the end of that trial period, the swimmer cannot swim the specified width or length of the pool, a full program refund is offered.
-
Swim meets (competitions) are usually one-day events held on Saturdays from June until mid August. Our club annually hosts one highly respected, home meet where approximately 15 clubs are invited to participate around central Alberta.
-
New Friendships.
Club Requirements:
The club holds 2 general meetings which ALL parents are required to attend. The first meeting at the beginning of the season is to introduce the board members and coaching staff and answer any questions new swimmers and parents may have. The second annual general meeting is a wrap up event which combines club business with a fun season ender for all club members, parents and children alike.
-
Fund raising for this season will be fun and thankfully limited. The major fundraiser for 2010 will be discussed at our first parent meeting in May. (Our fundraisers are club requirements so please read the fundraising information on our fundraising page carefully).
-
Parents are expected to help organize and officiate the High River Otters Swim Meet. Each family is required to fill 2 shifts at our swim meet.
-
Parents are expected to help monitor the change rooms before and after practice to ensure that behaviour is appropriate.
-
If you have ANY issues with coaching we request that you discuss it with a board member. Please do not harass or gossip about the coaches. They are working hard to ensure your child has a great Otters experience.
