2025-26 New Swimmer Assessments

Olympians Swimming Assessments

This one time session is for swimmers, designed to assess basic comfort and skills in the water and to place swimmers into appropriate standards based on our programs.

Main Objectives

• To ensure comfort and safety in deep water.
• To assess basic aquatic skills and unassisted swimming.

Criteria

• Age: 5 to 18  Years as of March 15th 2026
• Ability: Swimmers must be comfortable in deep water, able to swim with their face in the water, and capable of completing a minimum of 25 meters unassisted. (This is equivalent to successful completion of Royal Life Swimmer 3.)

What to Bring

Swimmers need to bring their own goggles and swimwear.

Schedule

We ask that all swimmers come ready to swim approximately 10-minutes prior to the start of the session to check-in with an Olympians Swimming Deck Manager and to change and be ready to meet the coaches on the pool deck prior to the session start. The session is 10 minutes long in water once started.

Registration

All registration and payment must be completed online through the Olympians Swimming website prior to the session. Spaces are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. No registrations or payments will be accepted at the pool.

All participants must meet the minimum safety standards required for this assessment. These standards are in place to ensure the safety of all participants and include:

• The swimmer is comfortable and safe in deep water
• The swimmer is able to swim with their face in the water. 
• The swimmer can complete a minimum of 25 meters of swimming unassisted.

Assessment

After the assessment, you will receive an email with the results and Olympians Swimming registration information. Please allow up to 48 hours for our team to complete the required paperwork. Note that successfully completing the assessment does not guarantee a spot in the club as space is limited by group availability.
