Registration

We offer three membership categories:

  • Full membership (with optional Summer extension)
  • Distance membership
  • Affiliate membership

Note: your OMSC membership fee is all-inclusive.
YMCA-YWCA membership is not an additional requirement.

Full Membership

The 2012-2013 season (Sep 10, 2012 through Jun 30, 2013) offers a great variety of swim sessions to suit any taste, including a combination of short course (25m) and long course (50m) sessions, and morning and evening sessions through the week and week-end. Full members are entitled to swim any number of sessions, i.e. as often as they like. Most swimmers settle into a pattern, which allows our coaches to provide continuity and consistency in the training program for individual members. Note: for Summer Membership, see below

  • Full Season members who pay upfront for the full 10-month season receive the lowest cost ‘Early Bird’ seasonal fee: $570 for the full season plus the $38 annual MSABC fee.
  • Full Season members who cut post-dated cheques (one per month, dated for the 1st of each month) for the full 10-month season receive the next lowest seasonal fee: $590 for the full season plus the $38 annual MSABC fee.
  • Members who join during the season, or for part of the season, receive a pro-rated fee in accordance with the number of consecutive months signed up for: $67 per month x n months, plus the $38 annual MSABC fee. The minimum sign-up period is four consecutive months, although the Registrar may waive the requirement under special circumstances.

Summer Membership

The 2013 summer season (Jul 1, 2013 through Aug 30, 2013) offers unlimited swimming at four indoor sessions per week, plus an open-water session on Friday mornings at Gyro Beach.

  • The Summer Season Fee is $105, which covers all sessions in July and August 2013.  If you are not currently registered with MSABC (Masters Swimming Association of BC), you will need to register as an MSABC member through the club, for the additional fee of $38

  • NB: The summer fee is subsidized by the club as an incentive to swimmers who wish to continue swim training during the warm months at a reduced cost. The fee cannot be ‘pro-rated’ per month, and the full amount must be paid upfront, irrespective date of joining.
