11&O June Rookie Camps

June Rookie Camps

Any swimmers wishing to join VPSC for summer or fall programming in 2021 are welcome to register for our Rookie Camps. These provide a chance for kids to meet the coaches and be assessed on their swimming ability so that we can see if they are a good fit for our club. 

Rookie Camps are conducted in small groups as 2 x 20 minute swim sessions for kids 10&U, and 1x20 minute session for kids 11&O. All of our procedures are COVID safe and approved by both our facilities and the Provincial Sport Organization (our governing body) Swim BC. 

Our assessment criteria is as follows:

• Minimum age to be assessed in 6 years old 
• Kids aged 8 & younger must be able to safely swim in deep water without an adult in the pool, know basic front crawl for 25m, and be able to kick with no arms for 25m (Minimum acceptable standard is approximately Swim Kids 4)
• Kids aged 9-10 must be able to swim front crawl, back crawl, and elementary backstroke, as well as do a somersault and a dive (Approximately equivalent to Swim Kids 6)
• Kids aged 11 or older must be able to swim all four competitive strokes and have some racing experience (summer club, school swim team, etc)
