Winter Maintenance
Our winter maintenance program is for those who want to continue their devlopement of swimming but have other main commitments outside of swimming. Winter Maintenance swimmers will mainly focus on their stroke development and maintaining aerobic capacity. These swimmers will swim during at the same time as our other competitive groups so they'll receive the same coaching as our competitive groups!

The Purcell group is our non-competitive winter maintenance group. Swimmers in this group are required to be able to swim 100m (4 lengths of the pool) unassisted. Purcell swimmers will mainly focus on their stroke development and maintaining their aerobic capacity. Purcell swimmers are more than welcome to attend our home meet but it is not a requirement. Note: BCSSA swimmers who would like to retain their 'S' status are ineligble to attend all SwimBC competitions. That includes our meet!
