A lot of people love to swim but don’t have the time during the school year. Luckily there’s such thing as a summer swim club. It runs from May to August, and it is not as much of a commitment compared to winter swim club.
Swimming during the summer is fun and also competitive. Similar to winter swimming, there are still swim meets and lots of competitions.
During the entire season, there is 9 meets total, including regionals and provincials. The 7 meets before regionals are to see which strokes you do best, and regionals is where you pick your 4 best events to compete in. If you are top 2 in your region, you qualify for provincials, where you swim against the fastest swimmers from all over Alberta.
However, if you choose not to be very competitive and just want to learn how to swim, you can do that too.
Summer swimming is a great alternative for winter swimming if you do not have the time.
