    Thanks for your extended patience!

 

 

31may2022 UPDATE:

  • FJCC confirmed
  • QMS still unconfirmed

 

 

30may2022 UPDATE:

sincerest apologies and regrets to all for the delay in releasing the alternative scheduling.  At present, we are awaiting:

  1. confirmation from the Frank Jameson Community Centre (FJCC) out of Ladysmith) for staffing our rentals --> no Lifeguards = no pool access.  
  2. updated Certificate of Insurance for the Queen Margaret's School (QMS) pool in Duncan, naming QMS as a location that our Team can train at

Rough plan:

  • All Competitive groups: B/C/D will be swimming the majority of their sessions out of the FJCC with each session slightly shorter than their typical session to account for the additional driving time.  All groups will have their total number of available sessions per week minimized but will have the minimum number of sessions per group.
  • All Non Competitive groups: FUNdamentals, SwimActive will be swimming out of QMS with all sessions being at least 50min long and on the same day(s) of your usual commitment.  You get the coveted outdoors swimming!

 

 

 

26may2022 UPDATE:

June 13 - 24, 2022 alternative schedule is set to be released tomorrow once we have the final piece in place.  Details will be emailed to all members once firmed and confirmed.  

With this unexpected delay, DST will be handling all of our members' monthly dues as such:

  • all members continuing on will be charged 50% of June dues automatically.
    • if your preference is to conclude your season early and forego June swimming, DST will be waiving our 30 days withdrawal period. 
      To take advantage of this extraordinary exception, please send an email to leanne@duncanstingrays.com no later than 31may2022 and you will not have a financial obligation for June 2022
  • members continuing on, will be charged a per session cost for all days in attendance.  These will be invoiced after the 2wk period of alternative scheduling. 
    Cost per session is based upon the formula of
    1) your regular monthly cost vs
    2) expressed schedule 
    = cost per session.

 

 

20may2022 UPDATE:

informal agreements have been made with alternative facilities.  No firm contracts have been received = no schedules to be released.  

Apologies for the delay!

Keep an eye.  Formal announcement to be made in the near future.

awaiting formal contracts from families within our area.  Schedules will be released directly to your email inbox and posted here when finalized.
