Welcome to Winter maintenance registration for the Nechako Valley Swim Club (Session date: January 7th to February 28th, 2026). Information on groupings can be found by going to http://nechakovalleyswimclub.teampages.com and clicking on swimmer groups on the left hand side.
If you are new to the Nechako Otters, swimmers can be assessed the first week of practices for their appropriate swim group.
As a general minimum requirement, Development Group and up, swimmers must be able swim 25 meters (one length of the pool, in any stroke) without a floatation device and in deep water. They will also have to be able to swim multiple lengths in one session. This is not a requirement for PUPs.
Be sure to add the $35 BCSSA fee (insurance) if you were NOT registered in Summer 2025. This option will be available during the registration check-out.
Please remember that under BCSSA Fall/Winter guidelines:
Swimmers are only allowed to train for two coached hours per week! Attendance will be taken to ensure swimmers do not exceed this limit.
Some helpful tips when registering:
- Select "S” Swimmer when asked about BCSSA Swimmer’s Declaration. If you are 20 years old or over, select "O" swimmer.
- Select "WS" Swims in the fall, winter and summer. When asked “What best describes this swimmer?” If you swam with the club in the summer 2025.
- Select "WW" Swims only in the fall and winter. Any new registrations as of October 2025.
- Select Speed Swimming when asked “What sport(s) does this athlete participate in the BCSSA?"
