Swim Programs

Our experienced coaches will help you reach your goals. We offer regular swim practices. We ask that, as a minimum, new swimmers be comfortable in deep water and have some knowledge of swimming. Special Learn-to-Swim programs are held from time to time for budding swimmers not yet ready to attend regular practices. Swim Clinics are held to improve swimming technique and Private Lessons are available for those who want more one-on-one attention.

Seasonal Membership

A Seasonal Membership gives you access to coached swimming with the Rideau Speedeaus for a defined training block. It includes structured workouts, coaches on deck at every practice, and access to our library of past workouts online.

Learn-to-Swim

Learn to Swim is for adults who aren’t quite ready for regular club practices, or who want a supportive setting to build confidence and improve technique.

Swim Clinic

Swim clinics are focused, skill‑based sessions that dive deeper into specific topics—such as stroke mechanics, pacing, starts, turns, or open‑water skills.

Introductory One Month Offer

Do you want to try the swim club out for a month? Choose up to three weekly swim practices for the month then decide if you'd like to become a regular club member. This is a one-time introductory offer.

Drop In Swim

Non-members and visitors to Ottawa can join us for a one-off regular swim workout.

Private Coaching

Private Coaching is available to members and non-members. Work on that specific stroke or component with a private coach for a one hour session.

Competitions Only

For swimmers who have their own training plan but would like to represent the Rideau Speedeaus in competition. This option provides the necessary club affiliation to compete and join us on relays.
