The championship group is generally focused on qualifying for and competing at the Alberta Provincial and Alberta Championship levels while at the same time working to attain national standards such as Westerns and Junior national qualifying times. Swimmers in this group will spend a great deal of training time working on developing their strokes and skills; at the same time increasing fitness and endurance. Dryland conditioning will also be a key element of these groups.
Championship 13&U and Championship 14&O are billing names while the Championship program has two roster groups (Jr and Sr) that have schedules where they swim practices at the same time and sometimes practices at different times.

- In order to maintain enough trained officials to run swim meets, we ask members to take a class and and train a new officiating position each year. There is a $150 officials deposit added to your registration (excluding Varsity registrations) to help support this initiative. Once you have taken the course and shadowed the position on deck, the deposit will be refunded to your account. All information can be reviewed in our Officiating page.

- We offer two payment options to our Competitive Members: Full Payment and Payment Plan
- Full Payment is required at the time of registration which includes Membership Fees, Swim Canada Fee, Officiating Deposit and Champ Fund. We offer a 3% discount on the Membership portion of your fees when you choose full payment. This is reflected in the fee that is charged at registration.
- Payment plan requires 50% of Membership Fees plus Swim Canada Fee, Officiating Deposit and Champ Fund to be paid at the time of registration. The remaining balance is split into 7 equal payments from October to April that are automatically processed to the payment method on file on the 1st of each month.
- We offer a Multi-Swimmer Discount on the Membership portion of your fees to our Competitive Families with multiple simmers in our competitive program. A 10% discount is applied to the second swimmer and 20% for all additional swimmers. These credits will be applied to your member account in the month following your registration and will remain on your account to be applied against future charges.
Billing
- Please note that currently the new platform for billing processes fees in “batches”. What this means is that a portion of fees are billed ‘instantly’ upon checkout (i.e. your Swimming Canada and Champ Fund fee) while the membership fees happen in a separate transaction later that same day.
