Welcome to the St. Albert Sailfish Swim Club.
The St. Albert Sailfish Swim Club is a summer swim club that was formed in 1968. We are a not-for-profit club run by volunteers and supported by membership and fundraising.
The club swims from the beginning of May thru to mid August. The club swims at the Fountain Park Pool in May, July and August and outdoors at the Grosvenor Pool in June. The Sailfish Swim Club typically consists of approximately 90 - 105 swimmers. The majority of the club ranges from the ages of 5 through to 17 with a range of swimming abilities. Our club is affiliated with the Alberta Summer Swim Association (ASSA), the provincial organization that provides the summer swimming program for individuals of all ages in Alberta. The ASSA provides many services as part of its membership for summer swim clubs. A part of the registration fees paid by families ensures that all swimmers are registered with ASSA and receive the Provincial Insurance offered by ASSA.
About Us

The season starts each year on the first Monday of May and typically goes to the third weekend in August.
