Watermania and Minoru is home to our competitive programs for swimmers ages six and up. Our Swim School level children practice at Minour and all other groups practice at Watermania. Non competitive programs for children 12-17 are also offered.
Our athletes compete at regional, provincial, national, and international-level competitions, including the 2000 Olympic Games and 2016 Rio Paralympic Games. They have broken provincial and national records and have been placed on numerous provincial and national teams. Developing the student-athlete is an essential part of our program, and a number of our swimmers have gone onto post-secondary success. Our athletes have also been recruited for the university teams in Canada and in the United States.
Former Rapids include Olympians Brian Johns & Walter Wu. Jonathan Dieleman represented Canada in the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games and Nicolaas Dekker represented Canada at the 2016 World Short Course Championships. Our current Head Coach, Robert Pettifer, was the Head Coach for Team Canada swim team at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.
