"Take pride in your choices, not your gifts. ... This is something that's super-important for young people to understand, and for parents to preach to young people. It's really easy for a talented young person to take pride in their gifts: "I'm really athletic," or "I'm really smart," or "I'm really good at math."

That's fine. You should celebrate your gifts. You should be happy. But you can't be proud of them ... What you can be proud of is your choices.

We have 676 swimmers registered from 10 different clubs to race hard in our 2021 virtual WaveMaker meet! Here are our participating teams:

Want to improve your technique, get stronger and have fun? Vikes Summer Swim Camps are tailored specifically for swimmers ages 8-12 interested in learning the basics of competitive swimming. Experienced coaches will lead campers in stroke improvement, swim games, swim fitness, dryland skills and provide an opportunity for feedback from under/over water video. Participants must be able to swim 50 meters or be at a Lightning Fast 3/Red Cross Level 6 or higher.

Our virtual WaveMaker meet starts in just 4 days and will run from April 18th until May 16th! We have over 400 swimmers from across Canada, Sweden and Australia participating! There is no entry limit, no qualifying standards and all ages are welcome! For a $30 entry fee, swimmers will receive t-shirts, goodie bags and more!

The Swim BC Virtual Provincial Championships have successfully completed with 525 swimmers participating from 38 clubs. The results are in and we are leading two of the top 5 teams in this year's Virtual Provincial Championships! Shout out and congratulations to all of our Vikes, Bolts and coaches who have been working so hard to push through this crazy season and pull off some amazing swims! 

We are so proud of our Vikes swimmers who were named 2021 University Challenge Individual "Medalists" and their winning relays!
