Fall Fee Options (12 week session):

12 drop-ins - $204.00

Unlimited Swims - $296.00

The drop-in option is the equivalent of 1 swim a week.  We call it a drop-in so that if you miss a week or out of town etc. you can use those swims however you'd like in that 12 week period**.   Unlimited swims are just that - swim as much as you'd like in that 12 week session.  

Payment Information:

We would kindly ask that you bring payment on your first swim. Payments can be made out to Ottawa Centre Masters. We accept e-transfers to the OCM email account, cheques, money orders, or cash. All board members will be present to give you your registration package, and collect your payment on the first practice you swim. We can also provide a receipt if required.

Please remember to include the annual $12 registration fee in your first payment - Registration fee payment is required for all members as we are an official Ontario Masters Swimming Club.

If you have any questions on how to register/join or any questions about the club in general - please consult the FAQ section of the blog on the right hand side of the page or or email us at ottawacentremasters@gmail.com.

* the free trial swim is for people who have never been an OCM club member in the past. The free trial is for potential new members to see if they like the club before fully committing to a 12 week session.
** any remaining swims during that 12 week session are not transferable to another session.

OCM Swim Club is Looking for Experienced Coaches for September 2019!!

Ottawa Centre Masters is looking for enthusiastic coaches that can deliver a good variety of work-outs, along with technique help and plenty of motivation. 

We are looking for a coach to split coaching 4, one hour practices a week: Saturday and Sunday morning practices from 9:00-10:00am; Tuesday and Thursday night practices from 8:30:-9:30pm from early September to the end of June. 

From September to December, we are looking for a coach Thursday 8:30 pm-9:30pm and Sunday 9-10am.  We hope that a candidate will lead us into our 2020 sessions, January to June especially during our night and Sunday morning practices.

Practice attendance ranges from 10-18 swimmers.  Pay for coaching is $30 an hour depending on experience.

We'd also welcome the addition of a couple of back-up coaches who'd be interested in filling in a couple practices a month, when needed. 

OCM is a small club of about 40 members that has been swimming out of Champagne Pool, at 321 York Street and the University of Ottawa for the past 9 years. Our swimmers are a mix of former competitive swimmers, tri-athletes, to people just looking for a good work-out. We do expect our swimmers to have a degree of ability in the water, so coaches are not expected to teach our members to swim.

If you're interested in helping adults that are passionate about swimming please send us an email at ottawacentremasters@gmail.com  and we'd be happy to discuss opportunities with the club.
