The personal information you provide to the Club from this registration will be used for the purposes reasonably associated with the swimming activities conducted by the Club, SwimBC and/or Swimming Canada.  These purposes include national, provincial and event registration, insurance coverage, training and competition participation and competition result publication, and:

1. Ensuring swimmers train and compete in an age-appropriate environment;
2. Establishing athlete eligibility for selection to swim teams;
3. Establishing pertinent medical records and baseline performance data to assist coaching decisions in a national team competitive or training setting;

Swimming Canada complies with the obligation and responsibility to the World Anti-Doping Agency - WADA (or its agents) to provide information upon request.

Additional personal information may be collected from time to time.  Consent for the use of this personal information may be inferred where its uses are obvious, and it has been voluntarily provided. When not obvious, the purposes for collection will be provided prior to, or at the time of collection; either orally or in writing.

Complete texts of the Privacy/Personal Information Policies (variously the “Policy” or the “Policies”) are available for Swimming Canada and for SwimBC.

Should a registrant wish to review their personal information held by the Club, SwimBC, or Swimming Canada they must make a request to the appropriate organization pursuant to that organization’s Policy.  Further, registrants may withdraw consent to use their personal information pursuant to the Policies. Such a withdrawal, however, may require the cancellation of registration with and suspension of activities with the Club, SwimBC and Swimming Canada.  All registrants or their legal guardian must sign a copy of this form each season.

I hereby consent to the collection and use of personal information as described above.
