Our Commitment as Squamish Pirates

What It Means to Be a Pirate

This manifesto is our shared commitment — to show up with integrity, work hard, support one another, and keep growing.

It defines the mindset we bring to every practice, every race, and every season, and represents the culture we strive to build for our swimmers, coaches and families.

The Pirates Way

How We Show Up

In the pool, on the deck and as part of our community.

Lead With Integrity

Squamish Pirates act with integrity in and out of the pool. We are mentors in the making.

Do the Work. Enjoy the Journey.

We show up ready to do the work. And we have fun while doing it.

Chase Your Goals. Support the Crew.

We are empowered to achieve individual objectives while supporting the pursuits of our teammates.

Excellence in Progress

Squamish Pirates embody excellence in progress.

We are forever growing, learning and striving to be better.

We create smart goals and carve clear pathways towards them.

Leave Something Better Behind

We live in the moment, but can see the future.

We’re leaving this club better than when we arrived.

And if we let it, it will leave us better too.
