International Swimmer (SD69)

• Swimmers must have prior approval to register as International Swimmer Squad. This option is available to SD69 International Students at either KSS or BSS, who wish to continue their competitive training while away from their home club. This is not a "learn-to-swim" program, rather targets skilled swimmers eligible to Lasqueti squad or above. This option provides for a max of 3 training sessions/week and is classified as non-competitive with SwimBC/SNC. Interested SD69 International student swimmers must book a try-out with our coach and registrar prior to registering.
• Approximate age: 14-18 years old
