Competitive Programs
Athletes in the competitive programs are committed to compete both individual figures and choreographed routines at all meets entered by KTSC. At the this level, athletes compete in specified “age groups” where the group in which a team competes is determined by the average age of the athletes on the team. The average age of the athletes on each team is calculated using the age of the swimmers at the end of the calendar year—i.e. the average age of the swimmers as at December 31, 2020.

NOTE: Swimmers must be 8 years or older by December 31, 2020 to swim at the competitive level.
 
Depending on the number and ages of swimmers registered with the club, KTSC supports teams in each of five age groups that compete at invitational, regional, and provincial meets. Practices and training sessions are designed to suit the abilities of the athletes competing on each team.
 
Athletes participating with KTSC’s teams agree to abide by KTSC’s Competitive Program Policy.
 
Registration for the Age-Based Competitive Teams is on Wednesday, September 4, 2019 5:30-7:00 pm at the Trent Athletics Centre.

Team Selection 
Competitive teams are selected by the competitive coaches. Swimmers are assessed at the start of the season and teams are selected on the basis of the ability, experience, age, and character of the athletes interested in this program. Team selections reflect the goals of providing each swimmer with the best opportunities to develop as an athlete and each team with the best opportunities for success.
 
All athletes interested in the competitive program will attend three training sessions to facilitate team selections. Initial training sessions & athlete assessments are scheduled for
     September 6, 2019 5:30-7:30 pm;
     September 8, 2019 6:00-8:00 pm; and
     September 9, 2019 6:00-8:00 pm.
 
Teams will be determined after these initial training sessions.

Registration Information
Weekly Training Schedules
Weekly training schedules for competitive teams will be announced at the conclusion of the team selection process. Training schedules are influenced by factors including the number of competitive teams in each age group, the number of swimmers on each team, and the availability of the coach(es) responsible for each team. Given the availability of pool time, competitive practices will be scheduled in the mornings and/or evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
 
The regular practice schedule for competitive teams will begin on September 11, 2019.

All land training sessions begin during the week of September 16, 2019.
