PONOKA GATORS SUMMER SWIM PROGRAMS

COMPETITIVE SUMMER SWIMMING

Our main swim program is open to swimmers ages 5 to 99 who can swim one full length of the pool without assistance. Whether you’re just starting out or chasing a provincial qualifying time, all swimmers in this program are eligible to compete in sanctioned summer swim meets across Alberta. Gators are grouped by skill and experience, not necessarily age, so every swimmer gets the right level of challenge and support.

Depending on their group, swimmers can expect to practice between 3 to 6 times per week.

HATCH & GROW A GATOR

This entry-level program is designed for our youngest swimmers, those just getting started on their swim journey. Whether your child is brand new to the water or starting to move across the pool on their own, our Hatch & Grow program builds confidence, safety, and essential swim skills in a fun and encouraging environment. Hatchlings begin in the Tot/Teach pool, while Grow-A-Gator swimmers transition to the main pool as they develop more independence.

Swimmers in this program attend three practices per week for 30 to 45 minutes.

HATCHLING

For brand new swimmers who aren’t yet able to swim independently. This group focuses on water comfort, safety, and playful learning in the shallow pool. Swimmers must be 3 years old by May 1.

Registration Fee: $330

GROW

For swimmers aged 4–7 who can float and move through the water on their own. Grow 1 focuses on front and back glides, kicks, and early stroke skills. Grow 2/3 swimmers begin linking strokes together and building up to 25m.

Registration Fee: $355
