New Program: Introduction to Speed Swimming

Ladysmith Chemainus Orcas were awarded a grant from VIA Sport to help build membership post-COVID and one of the initiatives we are working with is introducing speed swimming to children and youth in the community through a 6 week low cost program.  Over the course of six weeks new swimmers can learn about speed swimming including an introduction to the four main strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle), dive starts, turns, and what it's like to train in the sport of swimming.  At the end of the six weeks swimmers will get the opportunity to experience a mini competition where they will put the skills to practice.  The program is $40 for the whole six weeks and will get swimmers in the water twice a week for 45mins.  There is no requirement to register following the six week program.  For more information please email ladysmithchemainusorcas@gmail.com or register using the registration link HERE.
