Our Mission:
VPW is a community based sports club run by a volunteer parent executive. We offer programs for all levels of swimmers from those learning synchronized swimming, those interested in a recreational program and for those who wish to compete at a national level. We work with swimmers from 7 years to twenty years of age. Our team of passionate coaches are all certified through the National Coaching Certification Program and many are former athletes with our Club.
There has been a synchronized swim club in the city of Vancouver for more than 40 years. This club produced many fine athletes and coaches over those years, including athletes who competed internationally for Canada. In 1989, this club reorganized and the Vancouver club became known as the Vancouver Pacific Wave. Since then we have been developing young girls into athletic, goal-oriented team swimmers who love this sport and the opportunities for creative and athletic excellence it provides.
Our Vision:
We believe that the role of the Vancouver Pacific Wave Synchronized Swim Club is to enhance the physical, social and emotional development of the swimmers through participation in synchronized swimming. This can be achieved through the development of programs to meet the needs of swimmers with varied levels of ability and commitment, from beginner swimmers to National Team contenders. We provide oustanding coaching, paired with a safe and secure environment in which individual swimmers can strive for personal bests. Synchronized swimming is a team sport and we promote team spirit through the involvement of all swimmers, coaches, and swimmer families.
