CSCA Coach Registration Guide

Coaches must reapply for membership with the CSCA at the start of each swim season and memberships are Active until September 1 each year unless otherwise noted.

If you are currently working inside a Program that operates inside the umbrella of Swimming Canada, your registration process is initiated by your Club Registrar through the Swimming Canada registration site. If you are not working with a SNC affiliated swim club please reach out to your Provincial Sport Organization (PSO) for them to act as your registrar. If you are from outside of Canada, please contact the CSCA to discuss virtual or international registration. 

Steps for Registration

1)         Your club must have an account registered through their Provincial Swimming Office registration staff in order to access the Swimming Canada Registration and Events Management System (SNC REMS)

2)         Club Registrar must register club coaches* through the SNC REMS.

        More information on the REMS and step-by-step recordings and presentations can be found on the Swimming Canada REMS Information Portal. 

         *If you have new coaches or returning coaches who are required to complete a Vulnerable Sectors Check as part of your PSO requirement, or if you feel that they may have other outstanding requirements please make sure         that you place these coaches on to separate invoices.  This will remove any potential hold ups when processing registrations for the other coaches.  If you choose to create multiple invoices, we ask that you submit one payment         for all invoices via e-transfer to payments@csca.org.  Please include the club name and invoice numbers in the comments section.  

        Starting in the 2024-2025 season, the CSCA membership categories and associated fees have been modified. Ensure that your coaches are registered in the correct categories (see below)

Please note that these fees do not include registrations for other organizations including: Provincial Sections, Regional Swim Coaches Association, or Swimming Canada. 

Membership with the American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA) is available as an optional membership at a reduced rate of $90.00 through CSCA while completing registration.
