What an incredible weekend of swimming it was at PCS’s Wavemaker swim meet! We are so proud of all our swimmers for their hard work, determination (some dealing with illnesses and injuries), sportsmanship and outstanding performances. 

Almost 400 swimmers representing 19 clubs from across BC, Alberta, Whitehorse, Yukon and Washington state descended on Victoria to participate in one of PCS’s flagship events.

2025 Spring Training camp in Spain! 

9 of our National swimmers headed to Torremolinos, Spain for 2 weeks of training under the sun ☀️ with special out trips to Gibraltar, Ronda, Setenil, and Malaga city. Training in a 8 lane 50m outdoor pool, these swimmers completed 18 practices over their time in Spain. 

Coached by Rod & Grace this training camp was one for the books. Stay tuned for our next adventures!

Day 1

We started off with morning practice on Wednesday at commonwealth, all the girls loved the training and our main set. -4x 400 free, IM with fins. Next, we traveled to Lady smith after stopping at the “old town bakery” and getting some cinnamon buns. In lady smith, we went to the pool to take a quick peak. It was a 4 by 25m pool where Colton Gonzales swims, his 100-backstroke time is 58s!

PCS made waves at the 2025 Winter Provincials this past weekend, delivering an incredible performance that secured us a 2nd-place overall finish with a massive score of over 2,000 points. With 45 athletes racing, we saw outstanding swims, record-breaking performances, and incredible teamwork.
