About Gators
Gators Swim Club (a member of Swim BC and Swim National Canada) is a competitive swim club that has been part of the East Vancouver community for nearly 45 years ( Originated August 31st, 1977). The Gators Swim Club is also a non-profit organization that is operated by parent volunteers. Our club culture encourages enjoyment of swimming through development in areas of swimming skills, fitness and team participation. The structure of the Gators program is based upon a progression from the novice to elite levels of competition. Each level of club progression differs in preparation and performance expectations.
Although the idea of "personal best" is a prominent theme for the Gators Swim Club, the concept of team is equally as important. Team activities, such as time trials, in-house meets, special events, thematic fun swim days, BBQ's, etc., are incorporated into the program to involve all swimmers and family members in sharing values of friendship, team pride, staying healthy and community support.
Gators Swim Club welcomes new swimmers all year long. For registration information, click the Membership button below.

Gators New Logo
Our new logo brings the Gators spirit to life with a stylized representation of the word “GATORS” formed in the shape of an alligator.
This creative mark captures the energy, drive, and unique personality of our club, while symbolizing the strength and determination our swimmers carry into every practice and competition. It’s a modern reflection of who we are — bold, united, and proud to be Gators.
