2023 Ken Demchuk International Invitational

Dec 5, 2023

Sebastian Massabie of the Pacific Sea Wolves had an outstanding showing at the 2023 Ken Demchuk International Invitational.  Massabie broke five Canadian Records in the following swims:
  • S4 50 Back- 55.10
  • S4 100 Free- 1:28.54
  • S4 200 Free- 3:20.07
  • S4 50 Fly- 41.26
  • SM4 150 IM- 3:13.20

Many of the records had been standing for several years and Sebastian broke the former records by enormous margins.  In the 200 Free, Sebastian remarkably shaved over 16 seconds off the old record of 3:36.98 set by Garth Harris at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games!  Way to go Sebastian!

Spectators at BC Summer Provincials

Jul 13, 2022

Swim BC, together with host Vancouver Pacific Swim Club and UBC Aquatic Centre, are pleased to announce that a limited number of spectator spaces will be made available for each session of the 2022 BC Summer Provincial Championships (July 14-17, 2022).
  • The priority of Swim BC and event officials is to ensure a quality swim meet by prioritizing the field of play. As such, spectators will only be permitted once all volunteer positions for each session have been filled.
  • A maximum of 200 spectators at any time will be permitted within the north side of the mezzanine seating area of the UBC Aquatic Centre.
  • Session specific wristbands for up to 200 spectators will be handed out fifteen minutes prior to the start of each session at the southeast entrance of the UBC Aquatic Centre (not the main entrance). A maximum of 250 wristbands will be made available for each session to facilitate new entries should some spectators elect to leave the facility.
Event Volunteers: Sign-up for a front row seat! Family and friends are encouraged to volunteer to support the event. Details for volunteer positions can be found here. EVENT INFO: We look forward to hosting you this weekend. Thank you, Meet Management
