Swimmers may register with the club at any time during the year and the fees will be adjusted accordingly.

For Junior Barracudas information and registration please click here.
Registration takes place at the W. J. Henderson Recreation Centre at the west end near the canteen.

How to register:

New swimmers: Please complete the three forms listed here, one of each form per swimmer. All information is required to permit the club to register swimmers online with Swim Ontario. Contact the  regarding the submission of your completed registration agreement, PIPEDA, Email Agreement and post-dated cheques.

Please think about your time commitment to the club. It lessens the workload and expense for all families if everyone does their share. There are many positions necessary to keep the club running smoothly.  Please contact a board member to help out.

Fee Structure:

The club executive feels that all swimmers should be treated fairly and get equal value for their money. The fee structure is a reflection of equal fee per hour of practice. We want everyone to have a clear idea of what the swimmers goals and aspirations may be with EBSC.
PLEASE NOTE: THE FEES QUOTED BELOW ARE THE RATES FOR THE CURRENT SEASON (any changes to the current fees will be posted before the start of a new swim season).

Sept. 15*, Oct. 15, Nov. 15, and Dec. 15 for this year and Jan. 15 for the following year.

* The Swim Ontario Fee, a one time (yearly) fee, will be added to the first payment. This is required for insurance purposes and to register the swimmer with Swim Ontario (a swimmer may not compete unless they are registered with Swim Ontario).

PLEASE NOTE: The figures indicated in RED are the actual costs for a swimmer for one year. The other figures (Rebate Opportunity & Participation Levy) can be erased or reduced through club activities. Please read the following section for clarification on these two items.

Participation Levy: The functional survival of a club such as EBSC requires the work of numerous dedicated volunteers (remember only the coaches are paid). To encourage parents to become involved in the running and organization of EBSC a participation levy was introduced in 2002. Actually it is more of a non-participation levy. This year we have changed the Levy Structure. Levy Hours commitment will be determined by the number of years a swimmer has been a member of EBSC. There will be a designated amount of time that a swimmers family must provide to EBSC determined by the number of years a swimmer has belonged to EBSC. First year swimmer families will have a 35 hour commitment, 2nd year swimmer families will have a 45 hour commitment and 3rd and subsequence year swimmer families will have 60 hour commitment. There will also be an extra 20 hour commitment for each additional swimmer a family has swimming with the club. As with the fundraising commitment this amount is indicated above and is paid in advance at time of registration. The value of the levy is determined at the rate of $10 per hour of commitment. Through contributions to the club these hours can be erased (Our goal is that we destroy your post dated cheques for levy because you have volunteered for the club) or at the least decreased and a refund will be obtained for the time involved. There are many different ways to earn your participation levy hours, including volunteering at one of our swim meets. See the Parents -> Participation Levy page for more details regarding how to earn and declare your Levy hours.

Synopsis of fee section: The actual cost to have a swimmer compete as a member of EBSC is relatively low. Provided the number of participation hours are met (this can be easily achieved if you become involved with EBSC, and you will) and if you participate in the fundraising activities. Any feedback on the fee structure and levels should be directed to the club executive and they can be found here.
