Olympic Events include the 50m, 100m and 200m Butterfly. Paralympic Events include S1 – S7 50m Butterfly & S8 – S14 100m Butterfly.

Swim BC is excited to announce the Team Aquatic Supplies BC Swim Coaches Conference will be offered virtually. Since the cancellation of the in-person Coaches Conference in Whistler, we have been working to provide this great content in a virtual format. The full virtual schedule is linked below and registration is now open.

Swim BC is profoundly disappointed to announce the cancellation of the 2021 BC Swimming Congress.  Over the last week or so the incredible shift in COVID-19 daily transmission rates, hospitalizations, and deaths, coupled with the BC Government’s formal announcement to delay moving to Step 4 of the BC Restart Plan, left us, we feel, with no option.  Making this decision was incredibly challenging, however knowing our moral and fiduciary obligation is to ensure prioritization of our membership’s physical, mental, and financial well-being, we are comfortable with the decision.

Swim BC would like to recognize the performances by BC athletes at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
