VERNON KOKANEE SWIM CLUB

VKSC has been a competitive swim club since 1967!  We are currently planning for our new season starting this fall.  If you are interested in joining the club use the Contact Us button (above).  Check out our programs by clicking the Programs tab which includes swim schedules and fees (new season currently under construction).  Please email your child's info and we'll be in touch.  Some of our programs are currently full with a waitlist.  

Tier 6 (groups are Mon/Wed/Sat or Tues/Thurs/Sat)               

Overview: Here swimmers are able to swim three of the four competitive swim strokes well enough for short distances.  Our main focus in this level is improving the athlete's ability to swim the four competitive strokes as well as advance their fitness levels. These swimmers also continue to refine their starts and turns for each of the four strokes.  

Our objective for the swimmers in this group is to continue to have FUN while advancing the technique, swimming speed, and overall fitness.  

These swimmers are registered non-competitive with Swim BC/SNC and attend jamboree meets until such time that they have qualified for invitational meets with a sub 4min 200IM result (competitive registration upgrade and fees to be assessed at that time).  See meet schedule tab for jamboree dates.

- Aqua-quest 7 to 9, Swim-kids 7 to 8
