Ages: 12 & Over
The Performance Program is designed for swimmers ages 12 and older who are committed to competing at the Provincial and National levels. Athletes in this program pursue long-term excellence in the sport, with major competitions including Provincial Championships, Western Canadian Championships (or equivalent), and Canadian Championships.
Training emphasizes advanced technical development, race preparation, strength, endurance, and high-performance habits. Swimmers work closely with the coaching staff to maximize their potential while preparing for success at the highest levels of age-group and senior competition.
Performance 14 & Under, Performance 15 & Over, and Varsity Independent are registration and billing designations within the Performance Program. Swimmers are assigned by the coaching staff to one of three to four training roster groups (Performance Select #1, Performance Select #2, Performance Elite, or Performance Elite National) based on their individual development, performance level, and training needs. These roster assignments are determined each fall following registration and may be adjusted throughout the season. The Performance Program coaching staff share responsibilities across all roster groups, with individual coaches providing oversight and support for designated swimmers throughout the season.
Practices: 6–8+ training sessions per week, based on training group assignment and coach determination
Pool: MNP Community & Sport Centre
Practice Length: 90–120 minutes per session, with additional dryland training sessions scheduled separately
Important: The training sessions displayed in the registration system represent the weekly training template. At this level, swimmers are assigned specific training rosters and schedules by the coaching staff.
