Thanks for your interest in the Badger Aquatics Cluband our 2013 spring session.Before you continue with the rest of the registration process, please take a moment to read the following information about how our registration process works.

 

For the past several years at BAC, we’ve had a high level of interest in our club for all of our sessions.For our 2012 and 2013 fall and winter sessions, this unfortunately meant that we weren’t able to accommodate every single swimmer that was interested in BAC.  Last spring, we had similarly high numbers for many of our groups, but thankfully didn’t have to turn anyone away.

 

This spring we’re anticipating another high number of interested athletes in BAC.  In order to make the registration process go as smoothly as possible – and to be as proactive as we can in case we aren’t able to accommodate everyone – we plan on doing a few things differently than you might expect.

 

Registration for the spring session will open on March 6th and close on March 22nd.  During this time, all interested swimmers (both ‘returning’ BAC families and families that are new to the club) will be able to go through our registration process. However, this ‘registration’ does NOT guarantee someone a spot in the spring; instead it lets us know who is interested in which group.  After the registration period closes, we’ll have an idea of how many swimmers are interested in each of our groups for the spring session.  We’ll then be able to take the next step in determining whether or not we’re able to accommodate all of them.

 

If we have more swimmers for a particular group than we have space available, we’ll notify everyone ASAP about our plans.  Our first priority has always been to take care of returning swimmers as well as families that have a history with BAC.  After that, we’ll do the best that we can to accommodate as many new swimmers as possible for each group.  Prior to our fall session, we ran a two-week ‘stroke clinic’ where we were able to evaluate perspective new swimmers.  While we don’t currently plan on doing that for this spring session, if the numbers warrant it then we may have to do something similar to determine who gets the limited number of available spots.  **(In order to be considered for any available roster spot, you’ll need to complete the entire online registration process and have all of your previous sessions PAID IN FULL – please do not pay spring fees until you get word that your registration has been approved.)

 

BAC has always prided itself on being an organization that has been able to take swimmers of all abilities and help them to improve and to succeed.  The recent increased interest has stretched our available pool time and space to the limit.We’d love to be able to accommodate every interested swimmer, but the simple reality is that may not be able to this spring.

 

Thanks, and please email if you have any questions about the registration process.
