Welcome to
the St. Albert Sailfish Swim Club.
The St. Albert
Sailfish Swim Club is a summer swim club that was formed in 1968.
We are a not-for-profit club run by volunteers and supported by
membership and fundraising.
The club swims from
the beginning of May thru to mid August. The club swims at the
Fountain Park Pool in May, July and August and outdoors at the
Grosvenor Pool in June. The Sailfish Swim Club consists of
approximately 90 swimmers. The club ranges from the ages of 5
through to 50 (and beyond) as well in ability. Our club is
affiliated with the Alberta Summer Swim Association (ASSA), a
division of Swim Alberta, the provincial governing body for
competitive swimming. ASSA provides administration, communication,
insurance and governance for summer swim clubs. A part of the
registration fees paid out ensure that all swimmers are registered
with ASSA and receive the Provincial Insurance offered by
ASSA.
