Welcome to Flatland Swimming!
Flatland Swimming was created in 2010 by Jeff Toth with assistance from its other director, his wife and partner, Sara. Focused on creating an organization that is participant centered, coach guided and parent supported, Jeff and Sara built Flatland Swimming to provide a quality sport experience for its members and their families.
Flatland Swimming - at a glance...
Our Head Coach, Jeff Toth, is responsible for coaching, yearly planning, training schedules, discipline and all other matters related to the technical aspects of the organization. He is responsible to ensure that all Swim Saskatchewan and Swim Canada competition and program guidelines are respected.
Our coaching staff and volunteers also play a role in our operations related to website management, administration, registration, fundraising, volunteer activities, social activities and communications.
All of our competitive coaching staff of Flatland Swimming are NCCP trained and required to be registered members of the Swim Saskatchewan Coaches’ Association as well as the Canadian Swim Coaches and Teachers’ Association. They, like all members of the organization, are expected to acknowledge and adhere to all of our partner's Codes of Conduct.
Swimming Program Descriptions
We offer 4 levels of pre-competitive swimming (Learn to Swim), 2 levels of Competition Introduction and 3 levels of Competitive Swimming. To learn more about the various programs at Flatland Swimming, please contact us.
Squad selection/placement is at the sole discretion of the coaching staff and final approval is given by the Head Coach.
Memberships and Registrations
All families must be members of Flatland Sport Services Inc. and Flatland Sport Centre Inc. All swimmers, coaches and officials will be registered participants with Swim Saskatchewan and Swim Canada.
Membership with Flatland Swimming is a privilege and with it comes the opportunity to succeed and enjoy the experiences the organization has to offer. It also comes with responsibilities and membership can be revoked for breach of conduct, failure to keep your account up to date and breach of your coach, athlete or parent agreements.
Flatland Swimming is a proud part of the True Sport Movement. True Sport is a social movement powered by people who believe that sport can transform lives and communities—if we do it right. True Sport members across Canada are committed to community sport that’s healthy, fair, inclusive, and fun. True Sport members stand together against cheating, bullying, aggressive parental behaviour, and win-at-all-costs thinking. Canadians behind the True Sport Movement believe that the way we play together shapes how we live together. Sport falls short of its potential when negative behaviour gets in the way of the positive things community sport can teach us about working together, respecting each other’s efforts, and handling both victory and defeat with the grace of a champion.

Fees and Fundraising
Flatland Swimming derives its income largely from member families. Once a swimmer is accepted into the Swim Team and the family’s registration application has been approved only then, will the swimmer be able to participate in training and competition. Pre-Competitive (Learn to Swim) classes are accessible to everyone.. For detailed information about our fee structures, please contact us.
There is no mandatory fundraising required at Flatland Swimming. However if you choose to fundraise, you have the option. For more information about this program, visit the Fundraising page of this website.
Flatland Swimming’s Code of Conduct
