REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
UWA-West Coast will be providing pool and land training with the first block from Tuesday 2 June 2020 to Sat 27 June 2020.
Thanks to everyone who has already registered online. If you are in PN, DN or EN and have not received a separate email with your session times and a link to register, please email Marc Metzger via assets@uwawestcoast.org.
Junior Squads
All junior squad participants have the option to enrol in any one of the following blocks of 3 x 1 hour sessions. These sessions are all pool based, there is no land training for Juniors.
UWA Aquatic Centre
Option 1: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 4pm or 5pm
Option 2: Tuesday, Thursday 4pm or 5pm, and Saturday, 7.30am or 8.30am
HBF Stadium
Option 3: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 4pm
Option 4: Tuesday, Thursday 4pm, and Saturday 2.30pm
Registering for the Junior Squad program does not guarantee pre-COVID19 squad placements (White, Green, Blue or Gold) due to constraints that apply to the number of swimmers per group and the number of swimmers per lane. However, we will consult with the coaches and use our best endeavours to group swimmers on previous squad allocations.
Please register for Junior Squads online HERE.
If you can’t find a squad that suits you for this four-week block, then please register your interest for future training by sending your details to Marc Metzger at assets@uwawestcoast.org so that we can consider other options for you.
It should also be noted that all Squad allocations are temporary as we transition through the COVID-19 restrictions and the Club will attempt to re-assess allocations at the end of each 4-week training block.
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, actual pool time will last approximately 45 minutes in each 1-hour session.
We hope that for future training blocks we will be able to increase the number and duration of sessions at a similar price, assuming that as restrictions ease, the numbers of swimmers per lane will increase.

Pricing for all squads
The pricing is based on $9.90 (GST incl.) per swim session and $5.50 (GST incl.) per land session. You are required to sign up for the fixed number of sessions allocated to your squad over the first 4-week block of pool sessions. A discount has been applied for those squads with sessions on Monday 1 June (WA Day public holiday) when there is no training.
Parent Volunteers Needed!
The current COVID-19 guidelines require the Club to provide a COVID-19 Activity volunteer supervisor at each training session to assist in the changeover process as one group of athletes depart a venue and another enters.
Any parents who are able to assist should apply to Natalie Wilson, who has agreed to supervise our COVID-19 Activity volunteers. For further details, please contact Natalie at registrar@uwawestcoast.org. All volunteers will need to complete the COVID-19 infection control training module. Click HERE to complete the module.
COVID-19 restrictions apply to both the number of swimmers per pool and swimmers per lane. As a result we have had to allocate swimmers to smaller groups to facilitate quarantine requirements and create programs across multiple pools at both UWA Aquatic Centre in Crawley and HBF Stadium at Mt Claremont.
All swimmers are required to complete and return the COVID-19 Health Questionnaire before attending their first pool session. This is an Australian Government Health Department requirement.
The Questionnaire can be found HERE
Please email the completed form to Natalie Wilson via registrar@uwawestcoast.org.
Swimmers will not be permitted in the venue if they have not registered and paid online, and returned the COVID-19 Health Questionnaire prior to the first pool session.
We understand this is a difficult economic time for many families. If your family is experiencing financial stress, please send a confidential email to the Club’s Treasurer, Pierre Van der Riet, treasurer@uwawestcoast.org for financial relief consideration.
Thanks for all your support as we transition through this difficult time. Please contact us if you have any queries.
