2025 SUMMER CAMPS:

2025 SUMMER SWIM CAMPS

The Canadian Dolphin Swim Club is offering camps for swimmers interested in having a taste of what our Swim Club is like, or for current swimmers wishing to stay in the water during the summer. Our camps will be geared towards swimmers aged 6 to 11.

There will be 1 camp with 2 sessions, and multiple camps with 3 sessions per week at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre (VAC) and/or Britannia Pool. The campers will be divided into groups by ability: CDSC Red group equivalent swimmers will swim with the VAC Red (V-Red) camps, CDSC White and Blue Group equivalent swimmers will swim with the VAC WB camps. Camps exclusively at Britannia Pool will be for CDSC Blue equivalent swimmers only (B).

ASSESSMENTS:

All prospective campers who are not already CDSC members must be assessed before registering for a camp. Every camper must be able to swim at least 25m front crawl and 25m back crawl unassisted. This is a safety requirement as our coaches will not be in the pool with the swimmers.

Please email khosro@canadiandolphin.ca to schedule an assessment.

LOCATION:

Sessions will be held at the Vancouver Aquatic Center (VAC), 1050 Beach Avenue, Vancouver or at the Britannia Pool (BRT), 1661 Napier Street, Vancouver. For locations, click here.

Please arrive on time, ready to swim; however, campers must not proceed to the pool deck until the start time.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:

CDSC cap and t-shirt (for non-members, both included in the cost of the first week registered for), swimsuit, goggles, kickboard (a CDSC kickboard is available for purchase at the cost of an additional $42.00 including tax).

Fins/Flippers: Please go to this LINK  and buy them from Team Aquatic Supplies.

COST PER WEEK: 

Non-members: Camp Week 1 V-WB: $60 + Swim BC fee of $14.50; All other Camps: $90 per week + Swim BC fee of $14.50 (Swim BC fee paid only the first week registered for).
