Covid-19 Return to Swimming Update

July 17, 2020

There have been a few updates with regards to Return to Swimming. We had a call with viaSport earlier this week, and they are working towards the “Progressively Loosening” phase of their Return to Sport Guidelines. They have started work on what that phase is going to look like, and it will likely bring more opportunities for training and competition. We currently don’t have a timeline on when those guidelines will be available, as they will need to be reviewed by Public Health. Once viaSport releases their guidelines for this new phase, Swim BC will update our Return to Swimming Guidelines accordingly. You can access viaSport’s current Return to Sport Guidelines here.

Additionally, Swimming Canada has released an updated version of their Return to Swimming Guidelines which is available here as well as on their website.
