Anyone who can swim 25 yards freestyle &
backstroke and wants to learn more about swimming is welcome to
join the Canby Swim Club.
New Member Tryout
Period
If you are trying out for the Canby Swim club, you
have a two-week, no obligation try-out period. If, after
participating for two weeks, you do not want to join Canby Swim
Club, there is no financial obligation.
Canby Swim Club
accepts registrations from new swimmers trying out on the
FIRST and THIRD Monday each month from 4:30 to 5:30
p.m. (with the exception of the two annual breaks the
swim club takes each year during Spring Break and from mid-August
to mid-September). Swimmers interested in trying out the
Canby Swim Club in August or September should wait and plan to
attend the annual fall registration in early September.
For liability purposes, all forms must be completed and returned
with a check for the US Swimming Registration Fee
before the swimmer can enter the water. You
may either fill out the forms when you arrive at the pool or
download and complete the Application Form, USS Registration Form,
and Financial Obligation Contract by clicking HERE.
The Swim Club will hold your paperwork and payment until your
swimmer completes their two-week trial period, and decides if they
would like to join the Canby Swim Club.
USS
Registration
Every member of
the Canby Swim Club must be a registered member with United States
Swimming. The fee is $56 per swimmer annually.
Membership includes secondary accidental insurance and liability
insurance for the swimmer.

Late payment
Policy:
Payment is due in full by the
20th of each month. A $25 late fee will be
assessed to any account with a balance over $0.00 on the
21st of each month.
If full payment (including late
fee) has not been received by the last day of the month, the
swimmer will be suspended from the team and will not be eligible to
participate in Canby Swim Club activities, including practice,
until full payment is received and posted to the
account.
The Board may find that if an
account has what it determines to be a consistent inability to
provide sufficient funds (nsf checks) that cash-only payments
may be required for said account until payment is received and
posted to the family account.
Fundraising
Obligation
Canby Swim Club creates its budget around the required
amount of fundraising for each memer of the team. If a family
fails to meet their fundraising requirement, Canby Swim club may
not be able to meet its budget. Each member of the Canby Swim
Club is required to participate in fundraising and is required to
raise a minimum of $200 during the fiscal year (September -
August). The fundraising obligation can be met through a
Swim-A-Thon in the fall, a holiday poinsettia sale, and a spring
plant sale. Members not raising the miniimum during the
available fundraisers will be billed for the balance at the end of
the last fundraiser (usually in June). The fundraising
obligation is prorated to $20/month for the ten months we invoice
(October through July) for swimmers who are not members of the swim
club for the entire year.
Maximum Family Assessment: No family will be asked to
fundraise more than $400 for the entire fiscal year.
Volunteer Obligation
Other than coaches, Canby Swim Club is operated completely by
volunteers. The volunteer efforts of EVERY member are needed
to keep the Club running smoothly and to help keep our dues and
fees low. Every family is asked to volunteer in the
following events.
Gator Home Swim Meets: The Club hosts approximately
four home swim meets per year (November through February).
These meets not only provide our swimmers opportunities to compete,
but also provide needed income to the team. We ask that
every family volunteer in some way at each of our
home meets whether or not your swimmer is
participating in the meet.
High School Meets: Canby High School pays Canby Swim
Club to host three to five high school swim meets each year
(December & January). These meets are on weekday
afternoons from about 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. We ask that as
many families as possible volunteer to help at our high school
meets. High School meets are fast-paced and short. They are a
fun way to help out your team!
Gator Grinder Triathlon: In addition to the annual
fundraising obligation, each family is
required to asssist in the Canby Swim Club
"Gator Grinder Triathlon" held in May (usually the Saturday before
Mother’s Day). This contributes to our fundraising
efforts and is only possible with every family’s
participation. There will be a $150 charge per family for
those families who choose not to participate.
