What's New at North Toronto Aquatic Club

Cancellation of Fall 2019 Session at Lawrence Park Collegiate

Unfortunately, due to ongoing pool maintenance, our Fall program at Lawrence Park Collegiate has been cancelled. Our programs at Lawrence Park will now begin on Tuesday, January 14th and Thursday, January 16th. This impacts our Introduction to Competitive Swimming classes, Adult Beginner and Adult Advanced classes.

As classes have not yet begun at Lawrence Park Collegiate, if you or your child has any interest in joining one of the courses beginning in January, registration is still open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Following are some of the most commonly asked general questions we receive. Program specific FAQs are included within the program sections.

How and when may I apply?

For the regular 8 month session, our on-line application system is available starting June 11th. It starts as soon as the new season is announced on our website, and continues until the club is full. Until July 9th, only swimmers from Returning Families will be accepted. ‘Returning Families’ are defined as those who have had a least one swimmer take lessons during the preceding swim season. New Families will be accepted starting on July 9^th.

I am a returning member and forgot to register?

What/when is the Water Test?

All children, new to our Children’s Swim Classes, have a Water Test so that we may place them in the best level. We schedule the Water Test for September, before our season starts. At the Water Test, we confirm the level and the time of the lesson. It also gives parents a chance to see our pool, and to meet our Aquatic Supervisor and a few of our instructors. Teens may contact the club and book a Water Test to determine if they are ready for Lifesaving and Instructor courses. Adults do not require a Water Test.

How do I register and pay?

Do we need to live in the area in order to join the club?

May I try out a few classes before deciding whether to register?
