2024 SUMMER CAMPS

 

2024 SUMMER SWIM CAMPS

The Canadian Dolphin Swim Club is offering camps for swimmers interested in having a taste of what our Swim Club is like, or for current swimmers wishing to stay in the water during the summer. Our camps will be geared towards swimmers aged 6 to 11.

There will be 1 camp with 2 sessions, and 4 camps with 3 sessions per week at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre (VAC). The campers at VAC will be divided into groups by ability: CDSC Red group equivalent swimmers will swim with the Red camps, and CDSC White and Blue Group equivalent swimmers will swim with the WB camps. Camps at Britannia Pool TBA.

ASSESSMENTS:

All prospective campers who are not already CDSC members must be assessed before registering for a camp. Every camper must be able to swim at least 20m front crawl and 20m back crawl unassisted. This is a safety requirement as our coaches will not be in the pool with the swimmers.

Please email [email protected] to schedule an assessment.

LOCATION:

Sessions will be held at the Vancouver Aquatic Center (VAC), 1050 Beach Avenue, Vancouver or at the Britannia Pool (BRT), 1661 Napier Street, Vancouver (BRT camps TBA). For locations, click here.

Please arrive on time, ready to swim; however, campers must not proceed to the pool deck until the start time.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:

CDSC cap and t-shirt (for non-members, both included in the cost of the first week registered for), swimsuit, goggles, kickboard (a CDSC kickboard is available for purchase at the cost of an additional $40.00 including tax).

Fins/Flippers: Please go to this LINK  and buy them from Team Aquatic Supplies.
