Our team is a year round competitive swim team offering high quality professional coaching and technique instruction for all ages and abilities. The goal of our team is to provide every member an opportunity to improve swimming skills and achieve success at his or her level of ability, from novice to international competitor.

All of our coaches, as members of the Canadian Swim Coaches & Teachers Association, have access to the most comprehensive training and certification program for youth coaches of any sport in the Canada. They provide assurances that the time children spend in swimming will be quality time.

We are a non profit club, run by an elected Board of Directors which meets every month. All members are welcome at each meeting and encouraged to be involved in team activities and fundraiser.   

The Nanaimo Riptides Swim Team Association would like to acknowledge that we swim and work on the traditional and unceded territories of the Snuneymuxw First Nation.
