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 make 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).
L/A OSC consistently places in the top five teams in the British
Columbia. Also in L/A OSC has top ranked swimmers in Canada .
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.
