Welcome to SPRING 2025!
Our Spring Program registration opens March 8th at 9 am!
Activities runs from March 31st to June 14th
Step 1: Get your required Membership to Exceleration Triathlon and Multisport Club. (Your child cannot participate without membership)
Step 2: Register online through Vancouver Recreation ActiveNet OR Amilia
Step 3: Ensure your athlete is ready for the Aquatic portion of TRI, see below…
ALL ATHLETES in Adventure Tri and KOS swim groups must meet the following criteria:
1) Swim 25 metres (use of pool noodle ok)
2) Self-save: 12.5m or a half-length (swim unassisted; any technique)
3) Tread water for 30 seconds
We are holding swim assessments for those of you whose athletes may not be able to meet these minimums. If your athlete has documentation that they are able to meet the minimum swim level, or they have been cleared by an Exceleration coach, they will not need to attend.
If your enrolled athlete is not assessed and it becomes clear during their first sessions that they are not able to swim at the minimum level, we will give you the option to move your athlete to the No-Swim activity or invite you to withdraw them. We ask that you make every effort to have your child assessed if you are not sure they will be able to swim 25 metres. Please enroll them in the no-swim programming if you are certain they cannot.
Swim assessments are free, and are being held on February 28th at Templeton Park Pool. We will be adding more assessment opportunity in March soon.
After setting up your Amilia account and getting your athlete their membership, you can register your athlete for assessment here.
