Program Information
Pacific Coast Swimming is an athlete-focused, professionally-led and parent-supported swim club, committed to having swimmers at all levels achieve their full athletic potential. PCS swimmers range in experience from our youngest beginners to high performance international athletes. We are proudly affiliated with the University of Victoria Vikes Swim Program through the University of Victoria – Pacific Coast Swimming Association (UVPCS).
Our Lightning Fast Swim Series is built on a “swimming first” philosophy, introducing young athletes to the sport of competitive swimming from the earliest levels. This pre-competitive program focuses on developing strong foundational skills and stroke efficiency across all four strokes.
This five level series is designed for swimmers aged 4 to 10 who want to build confidence and fundamentals in the water. Created by our award-winning Pacific Coast Swimming coaches, the Lightning Fast Swim Series offers an innovative and engaging approach, designed to help young swimmers progress quickly and successfully.
Whether you're learning to swim, training for a triathlon, or simply staying fit for life, we have a program designed to support your goals. Our Masters Program (ages 18 & up) offers adult swimmers a professional and welcoming environment to refine technique, build endurance, and stay active. For younger athletes, our Fitness and Conditioning Program (ages 11–17) focuses on developing stroke efficiency, strength, and overall fitness, whether as cross-training or personal growth in the sport.
Our experienced coaches are committed to delivering high-quality instruction and creating a positive, motivating experience for every swimmer, at every level.
F.A.S.T. stands for Friends Achieving Skills Together, and that’s exactly what our PCS FAST League is all about. This program offers affordable, professional coaching to local elementary and middle schools, giving young swimmers the opportunity to develop their skills and confidence in the water, all while experiencing the fun and friendships that come with being part of a team.
The program runs seasonally in partnership with participating schools and includes both practices and competitions throughout the season.
PCS Summer Camps are designed to enhance swimmers’ technical skills, physical conditioning, and overall performance in a supportive, engaging and fun-filled environment. Participants will focus on refining stroke mechanics, improving endurance, and developing confidence both in and out of the water through structured training and collaborative activities including dryland, teamwork, videos and games!
