Fees
We strive to keep the cost of swimming with DSC to a minimum. Fees cover the cost of pool rental, and coaching. Free parking is provided by SAIT as part of the pool rental.
2010 - 2011 Swimming Fees
Different Strokes Calgary offers a variety of payment options. They include: annual, monthly, or drop in. The prices are:
- Annual membership
For unlimited practices from September through August, the annual fee is $450. You can pay this in one lump sum or if you'd rather, you can give three cheques: one for Sept 10 for $150, one for Oct 1 for $150 and one for Nov 1 for $150. Cheques should be made out to Different Strokes Swim Club. For regular swimmers, this is by far the most economical way to pay (less than $6 per practice). - Drop in card
If you aren't going to be a totally regular swimmer, you can now buy a punch card for 5 or 10 swims at a time to save you and us from handling quarters after every practice. The card is valid for any practices during the current season (so until the end of August 2010) and it costs $45 for the 5-card ($9 per practice), and $80 for the 10-card ($8 per practice). You can buy these from any member of the executive at the pool and then just have the card punched at each practice you use it at. You can pay by cash or cheque. - One Time Drop in
If you really aren't sure about your schedule and whether you'll be able to swim at least 5 times during the 20010/11 season, there is still a one time drop in fee available for $10 per swim. This doesn't change the policy having brand new swimmers to the club swim for free when they first swim. - Special Circumstances
If you're a student or underemployed and these fees will be difficult for you, please just pull Ryan or me aside at the pool and we'll figure out a way that you can still participate
First Swim is Free.
The first swim is free for new swimmers to the club. This allows you the opportunity to try out swimming with us.
