White Rock Wave Swim Club

MASTERS SWIMMING

The White Rock Wave Swim Club is a competitive masters (age 18+) swim group located in the South Surrey/White Rock area of British Columbia, Canada. We compete at the provincial, national, and international level in pool and open water races.

Our training program offers the opportunity to swim up to 5 days per week (based on space availability). Wave members select the number of days they'd like to swim per week (and specify which days will be their training days). We presently have about 70 members registered for our coached sessions. Preference is given to former and current competitive swimmers. We are not a "Learn to Swim" program but our coaches offer regular technique feedback aimed at improving your strokes, turns, and starts. 

We expect our team members to compete in at least 1-2 masters pool meets (during the regular season). Many of our members compete in both pool and open water races throughout the year. Our coaches have fitness, fun, and competition in mind during their planning of workouts and endeavour to help swimmers reach their personal goals. Our open water training includes advice about gear, racing strategies, and small group training.

To join the Wave, you must be able to swim for about an hour with a reasonable skill level in all four competitive strokes. You can expect vigorous workouts comprised of interval training, stroke drills, kicking sets, and race pace swims. The following equipment is regularly used in training: hand paddles, pullbuoy, kickboard, and fins. You should also have goggles and a water bottle.

We have an active group of swimmers who train in open water and compete in open water races. From April to approximately October, we have a group of swimmers who meet informally on the weekend to train at Sasamat Lake. In the past couple of years, a small group has been swimming year-round at Crescent Beach.
