How to join the teams / Guest
Vous voulez devenir membre d’ACC ou participer temporairement à l’une de nos activités (natation ou water-polo)?
Nous vous invitons à bien lire les indications ci-dessous:
Inscription des membres
Un membre ne peut désormais s’inscrire qu’à temps plein et pour toute la session.
L’offre d’inscription à temps partiel (samedis seulement) n’est plus disponible et il n’est pas possible pour un membre de payer un entraînement à la fois. De plus, aucun rabais ne sera accordé à un membre qui désire s’inscrire une fois la session débutée.
À titre de rappel, la bourse Maurice Angers est toujours disponible pour les personnes moins nanties qui aimeraient se prévaloir d’une aide financière. Ces personnes peuvent faire une demande auprès du Conseil d’administration de façon confidentielle.
Invités (c’est-à-dire les non-membres du club)
MACC a toujours ouvert ses portes aux personnes de l’extérieur voulant participer à nos entraînements de façon temporaire et nous continuons d’accueillir ces nageurs et nageuses.
Un invité doit cependant remplir l’une des conditions suivantes pour participer à un entraînement:
- aviser le club de sa visite au préalable en écrivant à l’adresse suivante: info@acontrecourant.qc.ca, et avoir reçu une confirmation du club l’autorisant à participer à l’entraînement; ou
- être accompagné d’un membre qui participera au même entraînement; le membre avisera l’entraîneur de la présence de son invité.
Un invité n’ayant pas suivi l’une de ces règles se verra refuser l’accès à l’entraînement.
Une fois l’accès à l’entraînement accordé, l’invité pourra s’entraîner avec le club gratuitement pour une durée maximale de deux semaines. La période de deux semaines est une limite imposée par la Fédération de natation du Québec (FNQ) pour des questions d’assurance.

Eligibility
Swimming
Registration requirements
Please be aware that we are a training club and not a swimming school. Hence a swimmer must meet a few minimum requirements in terms of skills and stamina, so as to smoothly participate in our workouts. You need be able to meet at least 3 of the 4 following requirements:
- Speed: swim 50 m crawl at a pace of 1 min 30 sec. (including breaks) 5 times in a row
- Stamina: swim 300 m crawl in 8 minutes
- Technique: swim without any stops each of the following: 100 m crawl, 100 m back stroke, 100 m breast stroke and 25 m butterfly
- Be able to swim during the complete workout, including breaks and explanations, that is for 90 minutes
A swimmer which has registered but does not meet these requirements will not be able to continue swimming with the club until the requirements are met. No refunds will be given for any lost training time.
A swimmer which is not sure that he or she is meeting the requirements can attend a trial workout before registering and our coaches will be able to evaluate and confirm his or her swimming level. Please advise us beforehand at info@acontrecourant.qc.ca.
