Red Dragons

The Red Dragon group will become a transitional group for the Winter Session.   The Red Dragon group has been a non competitive group since its inception.   Now as a transitional group, members of the Red Dragon group will have the option of participating in swim meets.   To exercise this option, they must pay the Swim Ontario competitive (once per year) insurance fee.   Swimmers in the Red Dragon group not wishing to attend competitions will not be required to pay the addition insurance coverage.

To attend a meet, parents of swimmers must sign the permission forms which are distributed by e-mail to all members.   Once completed, the permission forms and any entry fees required must be given to the coach by the due date.
