The Abbotsford Olympians Swim Club (AOSC) is
Abbotsford’s only year-round swim club. We are the
only
Swim
BC
, Swimming Canada and FINA affiliated club
in Abbotsford.
We provide swimming and life skills for
children five to eighteen years old based out of the
Matsqui
Recreation
Center
located at
3106 Clearbrook
Road
in Abbotsford.
AOSC sets itself apart from other programs
with professionally certified and experienced coaches, a balanced
long-term development approach to swimming, and as a great
place to meet and male new friends in a co-ed environment.
AOSC first began operating in January of
2004 with offering two recreational programs - "Olympic Way" and
"Stroke Improvement and Conditioning".
In 2006, AOSC offered its first competitive
program named "Regional Group" - a program intended for
eight to ten year olds swimmers to achieve their regional
qualifying times.
In 2007, AOSC expanded to a six-day week
schedule and offered a "Provincial Group" whose purpose was to
qualify swimmers for AA and AAA Provincial-Level
competitions.
AOSC is fully associated with its sister
club the Langley Olympians Swim Club (LOSC). Together at
major competitions the two clubs combine resources and swim as L/A
OSC (Langley/Abbotsford Olympians Swim Club).
In July 2008, L/A OSC placed second in the
province at the Provincial AAA Championships. L/A OSC
consistently places in the top five teams in the British
Columbia. Also in June 2008, L/A OSC was unofficially ranked
10th in the country based on meet results across the country.
In 2008, Jake Tapp (LOSC) qualified for the
Canadian Olympic Team and is heading to the 2008 Beijing Olympic
Games.
It is the goals of AOSC to have everyone
strive for personal excellence and achive their personal
best. One day AOSC may have someone achieve their dream of
going to the Olympics, but we belive that everyone can benefit
from the pursuit of excellence, regardless of their level of
swimming.
“In Pursuit of
Olympian Excellence.”
