Squamish Pirates Swim Club
Summer Swimming
For swimmers looking to enhance their skills and compete in local swim meets, the Squamish Pirates Swim Club offers a competitive swimming season that runs from May to the beginning of August (mid August if you make Provincials). This program is designed for pre-competitive and competitive swimmers who want to build endurance, refine technique, and stay active during the warmer months. The summer session typically includes multiple weekly practices, dryland training, and opportunities to compete in regional BC Summer Swimming meets.
Winter Programs
To help swimmers maintain their progress and conditioning throughout the year, the club also offers a winter season from October through April with a pre-competitive and competitive maintenance program. This program focuses on stroke refinement, strength building, and maintaining swim fitness during the off-season. While less intensive than the summer session, it provides consistent training to prepare athletes for the next competitive season.
