A new look for a new season!
Welcome to the Scarborough Swim Club Swim Academy for the 2019-2020 season! We are thrilled
to introduce a new look including an updated logo and an improved website.
Our program will continue to operate as in past years with 2 lessons per week (3 times per week for
Pre-Competitive group). Our instructional curriculum is continuously evolving to better prepare our
swimmers for our Competitive Development program expectations. Swimmers will continue to
learn functional and foundational movement skills, while being introduced to specific drills ahead of
their graduation into our competitive program.
As always, we have added some additional time in the schedule to allow for us to offer make up
classes that are missed due to statutory holidays. We are happy to be bringing back the Mini-
Meets for the upcoming season! Prior to Christmas and March breaks as well as at the end of the
season, we will be holding a fun Mini-Meet for all our Academy swimmers.
We have been fortunate to again secure pool time at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre as well as
RH King Academy and Sir Wilfrid Laurier Collegiate. However, our pool permit costs have risen so
there is a modest increase of $25 per year for some lesson fees. In addition, the registration fee
will be increased by $25 to offset the corresponding increase for mandatory registration and
insurance implemented by Swim Ontario for next season.
Even if you have been with SCAR in the past, please read this entire package as we have updated
some of our policies. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the Club Administrator at
scar.office@scarswimming.ca.
Please check out our new website at www.scarswimming.ca! We are excited for a new season and
are glad to have you as part of our club!
Sincerely,

Tanya Payne
President, Scarborough Swim Club

Lesson fees vary by group and allow the Club to pay our high-quality instructors and access pool time
in the Eastern GTA. We accept either a full payment for the whole season at the time of registration
or eight (8) equal installments. Payment can be made only by credit card (Visa or Mastercard). A $35
administration fee will be charged for any declined credit card payment.

For lesson fee installments, the annual fee is divided into eight (8) equal payments and a 15%
administration fee is added to cover administration fees. Payments will be charged to the credit card
on file on the 1st of each month from September 2019 up to and including April 2020. IMPORTANT:
Fee installments are eight (8) equal payments of the annual lesson fee (including administration fee).
The installments amounts are not dependent on the number of lessons in the month.

When a swimmer graduates to a higher level, you will be charged a fee for the difference between
the levels (fee will be prorated if applicable). Should your swimmer graduate from the Swim
Academy to the Competitive program, different fees apply and you will be provided with the fee
information at that time.

For families with multiple swimmers, a family discount is available:
    •     Families with 2 swimmers – 5% discount off lesson fees
    •     Families with 3 or more swimmers – 10% discount off lesson fees
    •     Discount will be applied to lesson fees only
