Masters Swimming Ontario

Details on registering as an Ontario Masters Swim Club:

Cost for club membership: $45
Cost per swimmer per year: $25

Plus the cost of events. Schedule to be determined but you can have a look here: http://www.mastersswimmingontario.ca/competition/schedule01.htm. I suggest that we look to the North York meet on December 9 or the Alderwood meet on January 20 as our first meet.


I will bring a sign-up sheet next week for those of you wishing to swim competitively (or just want to pretend they do). Please bring $25.
