Welcome to Percy Norman Swim Club!

Parents should note that in order for swimmers to access the pool during their practices, they must present valid and current ID cards.

All PNSC swimmers must update their ID cards by seeing the front desk. Please bring your current PNSC card with you so that the staff can update.

New swimmers (especially young children) who do not have ID cards are asked to come to the front desk with their parents. Please provide information such as the swimmer's full name, home address, telephone and birthday; and you should receive your ID card within 10 minutes.

Swimmers must follow all pool regulations, such as:

Swimmers using their ID card may not swim outside their normal practice time
Parents must pay if they wish to swim at the pool. Any breach of this rule may result in the cancellation of their children's membership

Also, please note the following:

The club does not assume any responsibility for lost items; therefore swimmers should not bring valuable items to practices.
Parents are expected to wait until their children are in the water before leaving.
The club does not assume any responsibility for a swimmer's safety or security before and after practices.

Mile Swim certificates are now ready for pick-up. Parents are asked to see Yan at practices. Thank you.

We'd like to remind PNSC parents that the Practice Schedule and Calendar of Events for the Winter/Spring session is now up for your perusal.

The 2011 Fall Session’s Progress Report Cards are now ready for pick–up.

For Group 1 and 4 swimmers, please see Yan at practices.

For Group 2 swimmers, please see Group 2 coach, Sarah Walsh.

For Group 3 swimmers, please see Group 3 coach, Lauren Nipp.

We thank all coaches for their efforts in completing these progress reports!

We'd like to remind all PNSC swimmers and parents that in order to ensure a positive swimming environment for all, swimmers are to swim only on the days/times signed up for.

Parents are asked NOT to bring swimmers on alternate days/times as they will be turned away since we can only accommodate a limited number of swimmers per group. Please note there are no make-up days due to holidays.

If parents aren't sure what their children's practice days are, please contact Yan at nvhuynh@shaw.ca.

Note: All parents should wait until their children get in the water before they leave as any swimmer turned away (due to wrong day/time) will not be supervised by the pool staff nor by the PNSC.

SWIMMERS:

We would like to let you know that your ID Cards have been programmed to allow you to only enter the pool 25 minutes prior to your practice start time.
Therefore, your ID Cards are only to be used for entry to the pool 25 minutes prior to your practice day and time. You are not allowed to use your ID card for entry to the pool any other time.
Swimmers are expected to leave the pool after practice; they may not swim in the pool after practice
If you do not follow this policy and abuse your entry privileges (ie. use your ID card at another time, swim after practice), the club will cancel your membership immediately.

PARENTS:

Parents are only allowed to enter the pool during your children's practice days and times and sit in the parent viewing areas located in front of the pool's shallow end (behind men's change room). You are not allowed to sit at the picnic tables.
Parents are not allowed to use the facilities (pool, fitness, etc.) when you wait for your children unless you pay at the front desk.
