To register, please sign up for the time slot that works best for you. Each swim costs just $5.
We're so excited to offer this opportunity for our community to stay active and healthy. Lane swimming is a fantastic way for adults to maintain fitness, improve swimming technique, and enjoy the many benefits of this low-impact exercise. Here are a few more reasons why lane swimming is good for adults:
- Burns calories: Swimming is an efficient way to burn calories and aid in weight management.
- Enhances mood: The combination of physical exercise and the calming effect of being in the water can help improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.
- Improves coordination: Lane swimming requires the use of multiple muscles and coordination of movements, which can improve overall coordination and balance.
- Reduces risk of injury: As a low-impact exercise, swimming is gentle on the joints and can help reduce the risk of injury compared to other high-impact activities.
- Provides a social outlet: Lane swimming can be a great opportunity to meet new people and socialize with others who share a love for the water!
So why not take the plunge and join us for some lane swimming at St. Alban's? Register today
and start enjoying the many physical, mental, and social benefits of this wonderful activity!"

Returning for the fifth year, Youth of the Year is BGC Canada’s national initiative to recognize and celebrate exceptional youth who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, service, and achievements within their communities. Youth of the Year encourages young people to become active role models and a voice for young people across Canada. This year, five youth receive post-secondary scholarships, laptops, prize packages, and development and media training. Ruben has been involved with BGC St. Alban’s Club (at our Weston Mount Dennis site) for 10 years as a Club member, volunteer, and Club staff. He describes his Club experience as transformative, helping him build life skills like adaptability, teamwork, self-confidence, and leadership. As a youth council member at his own Club, attending BGC Canada’s 2023 National Youth Forum was a memorable experience that shaped how he wants to show up for his community. Outside of the Club, Ruben is a leader in his school community, stays grounded in his values, and always finds ways to uplift others. Ruben is passionate about being a voice for young people who want to make an impact. As Youth of the Year, he’s ready to show young people across Canada the power of youth-led change.
