The 2026 EMSC Summer Season will once again return to the outdoor pools and is anticipated to take place from Tuesday, June 2 to Sunday, August 30, 2026. We will also have the opportunity to register for two morning swims/week.
Registration will open once we have our pool time confirmed. It will open current, fully registered (SWIMMING CANADA registration), TRAINING (not associate) members of the club FIRST and then opened up to associate and newly registered members and will opens to all after three weeks if space is still remaining.
As with last summer, we will be offering two indoor morning swims (there is no outdoor morning pool time). This will be a separate session from the outdoor pool times.
We are limited to a maximum of 36 swimmers per outdoor session as per the City of Edmonton and we will close registration once we are full.
Your registration will not be guaranteed until payment is received in full!
Weather Cancellation Policy for Outdoor Workouts
Please note that EMSC is not yet capable of controlling the weather. Watch for email or check the EMSC website for cancellation notices, which will be posted no later than 30 minutes before a cancellation (if possible).
Despite the fact that the City cancels public swimming at outdoor pools when the temperature dips below 18 degrees, our outdoor swim practices are a “GO” on these cooler days. And we swim in the rain, too! We are not able to swim during a thunderstorm; the rule is that no one can enter the pool within a half hour of pool staff hearing thunder. Outdoor swim practices may also be cancelled in the event of an air quality advisory.
