We're thrilled you're thinking about joining the Downtown Swim Club! Whether you swim for fitness, fun, or competition, DSC is a vibrant, inclusive space where everyone is welcome - regardless of experience or identity.

The Downtown Swim Club is committed to inclusivity. If membership fees create a financial barrier to joining, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Email us at info@dsctoronto.ca with any information you feel is relevant. We may request supporting documentation. While we can’t guarantee assistance, we will do our best to accommodate based on the financial capacity of our small, member-funded, and volunteer-run club.
READY TO TAKE THE PLUNGE?
Before attending your first practice, all members must complete the following two documents. No waiver = no water! For insurance reasons, you won’t be allowed in the pool without submitting both forms:
- Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims and Indemnity Agreement
- Personal Information Protection & Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) Form
To begin your registration, please visit dsctoronto.ca/TakeThePlunge to sign up online.
Once you've registered and completed your payment, the DSC Board will review your application. You’ll receive a separate email confirming your approval. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
