BC Swimming Hall of Fame

The BC Swimming Hall of Fame is where we celebrate the best and brightest members of our swimming community. While swimmers are a big part of the Hall of Fame roster, coaches are also eligible for induction, as are builders—community members who have significantly contributed to the growth and popularity of our sport.

Nominations to the BC Swimming Hall of Fame are accepted at any time and can be submitted by any individual or group. Successful nominees will be inducted at the Annual BC Swimming Awards Dinner, usually in September. For this reason, nominations must be received no later than January 31 to be considered for induction in the same year.
