Kigoos Swim Club

Tater Tot registration is now open!

We are so happy to finally be able to have our littlest Kigoos back in the pool!

After two years of not being able to offer Tater Tots, we are thrilled to be able bring our youngest swimmers back to the pool.

Tater tots is a program that we offer to siblings of current Kigoos swimmers. This program offers the swimmers a chance to get comfortable in the water through fun games, and songs with the coaches.

This program will run three days a week, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays starting on June 14 through till July 28. Classes are 45 mins in length with the first 15 mins as dry land warm up.

The cost for this program will be $200.

Thank you,

Kigoos board of directors

Hello Kigoos!

Saturday’s mock meet was a HUGE success! It was so heartwarming to see our youngest Kigoos swimming their hearts out yesterday in their 25m races. It was also exciting to see so many swimmers in their first races ever. Thank you to the coaches for organizing the events and relays. Thank you to the many parents who helped with volunteer shifts – we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you also to the parents and grandparents who cheered on the sidelines and helped support our swimmers. We are looking forward to even more fun at our Ice Breaker meet next weekend!

With that in mind, this will be one of the busiest weeks of the season! There will likely be a few emails sent out this week with important information about the Ice Breaker meet.
