MASTERS SWIM PROGRAM

Nov/Dec 2025 Registration Opens October 14th @ 8am 

The Masters Swim & Triathlon Program is for adult swimmers with varying levels of swimming ability with the intent (for any or all of the reasons): to swim for fitness, for competition; enhance the triathlon programming, and mainly for the FUN of it! The program swims out of the 50m 6 lane facility of Wilfrid Laurier University (corner of King and University Waterloo).

Please Note: All masters swimmers must be a Laurier student or a member. Swimmers must be able to successfully complete 200m using a recognizable swim stroke to be eligible for the program. 

Memberships need to be purchased at the Hawk Desk. Please ask for the "Masters Alumni Rate" of $37.75 + tax per month. For anyone wanting to register with the Master's swimming program, a Facility Membership is required to participate. 

Each day will be limited to 25 spaces, up to 5 per lane. You must only attend practice on the day(s) you're registered for. If you have to miss your registered day you will not be permitted to attend another day instead.
