Swim BC proudly welcomes Dr. Peter Vizsolyi into the Hall of Fame, recognizing his remarkable contributions as both a Coach and a Builder in the sport of swimming. Over more than four decades, Peter has shaped the landscape of competitive swimming in British Columbia and across Canada. Guiding athletes, developing programs, and helping build the very foundations that support the sport today.

Two UVPCS athletes set their sights on the prestigious Far Western Championships in California, one of the continent’s most competitive age-group meets. Coming from different backgrounds and communities, both brought unique strengths to the pool, united by a shared dream to compete among the best.
