Hey Everyone:
Just a heads up for the coming year. The BCSSA has changed many rules for the coming year. Most changes affect Diving, Water Polo, and Artistic (formerly known as Synchro) but their are a few that affect speed swimming. If you are an official, coach or wanting to know more, look at the rule book that is now online on our new BCSSA website.

Swimmers need to attend one day of a swim meet during the summer season to qualify at regionals. Swimmers qualify for Provincials by attending Regionals. Regionals are not just for experienced swimmers. Last year we had several new swimmers qualify to swim at Provincials and 2 of those swimmers won GOLD MEDALS!
