Vancouver Pacific Wave Synchronized Swim Club

Due to unforseen circumstances, we need to postpone our Annual General Meeting. We will post the new date and email all club members when the new date and location have been established.

Please mark your calendars for our Annual General Meeting, being held Sunday October 2 at Templeton Pool, from 10:00am – 11am. At least one parent from each family is expected to attend this important club meeting.

Vancouver Pacific Wave is pleased to announce the appointment of Kara Kalin to the position of Head Coach for VPW.

Kara is an accomplished Level IV synchronized swimming coach. A former Calgary Aquabelle swimmer, Kara has coached VPW’s high performance athletes for five years. Last year her Senior team at VPW won Gold at Nationals in Calgary, and she has also coached over the past two summers for Synchro Canada, first as an Apprentice Coach with the 2010 Junior Worlds Team and most recently as an Assistant Coach for the 13-15 national team. She helped lead that team to the podium with 2 silvers and 1 bronze in Busto Arzisio Italy this summer.

Kara has also recently completed her Masters in Counselling Psychology, and is currently completing her thesis on “Exploring the Personal and Performance Effects of Inner Work With a High Performance Athlete”.

Kara’s goals for the club include inspiring VPW swimmers at all levels from Star 1 right through to Senior, bringing what she has learned as a National Team coach home to VPW, fostering club cohesiveness, and sharing her contagious love of this sport. Be sure to listen to Kara’s radio feature on Evolution 1079!

Congratulations Kara!
