With an abundance of caution, the Organizing Committee and Swim BC staff have decided to cancel the BC Open Water Championships. Originally scheduled for Friday, June 14th, the unseasonably cold spring has led to water temperatures falling below the thresholds set by Swimming Canada and World Aquatics rules. 

The Competition Managers have been closely monitoring the temperature of the Sasamat Lake competition course. The temperature has consistently hovered between 15 to 16°C, which is below even the wetsuit threshold rules. Furthermore, the current weather forecast predicts overnight lows of 3°C and a high of 11°C on race day, with rain. These conditions have made it clear that canceling the event is the safest decision. 

Swim BC prioritizes the well-being and safety of all participants. Although this cancellation is extremely inconvenient for participants, officials, and support personnel, we cannot ensure the safe delivery of the event under these conditions. We are deeply grateful for the efforts and leadership of the SFA organizing committee, particularly Paul and Miranda McNamara, and Open Water officiating expert Mike Stamhuis. 

All entry fees will be refunded. We will contact all payees with refund information next week.

Sebastian Massabie from the Pacific Sea Wolves broke the World Para Swimming World Record in the S4 50m Butterfly while competing at the 2024 Citi Para Swimming World Series USA in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 14, 2024.

Massibie’s time of 39.51 this morning bettered the previous record of 40.48 held by Darko Duric from Slovenia from 2012. Duric’s record was the gold medal swim of the 2012 London Paralympic Games.

Massibie’s coach, Jy Lawrence, said of the swim, “Sebastian did a great job of executing the race plan and is in a great position going into European Open Championships next week in Portugal and the Paralympic Trials next month”.

Congratulations to Sebastian, coach Jy, and the Pacific Sea Wolves on this great performance.
