Welcome to the University of Calgary Swim
Club
The University of Calgary Swim Club (UCSC) is a 400 swimmers
strong club. UCSC provides a quality competitive swimming program
for the youth of our community and provides world-class
training opportunities to those who choose to pursue a high
performance path in swimming. Our mandate is to achieve excellence
at all levels, whether that be coaching a swimmer to go off the
blocks for the very first time, their first Provincial
Championships, or coaching a National or International level
swimmer.
UCSC has a rich history of excellence of developmental swimming
as well as Olympic medals. Our alumni include swimming greats such
as Mark Tewksbury, Curtis Myden, and Tom
Ponting.
Hard work and deliberate practice is the corner stone of any
successful activity and this is the basis of our program.
UCSC’s philosophy of swimmer development is delivered by a
team of 25 CSCTA certified coaches that follow Swim Canada’s
Long Term Athlete Development Model.
UCSC is a swim club of swimmers, parents, and alumni. I invite
and encourage you to get involved in the club for a healthy life
for all. UCSC is a member driven swim club and relies on the help
and support from our member parents to operate the
club.
I wish success for all of our athletes during this season and
beyond. I invite you all to embrace our mandate of
“swimming to first: achieving excellence at all
levels”, as we focus our attention on developing and
delivering programs that will provide every opportunity for our
swimmers, regardless of ability, to reach for their own
stars.
