Who is Cruisers?

Our mission is to provide training and competition in an environment that encourages fun, sportsmanship, team spirit, and achieving personal bests.

One Club with four sports! Cruisers offers training in Speed Swimming, Artistic Swimming , Water Polo and Diving.

The Cruisers Aquatics Club has actively promoted aquatic sports on the North Shore since 1971. The club is a non-profit organization that is a member of the British Columbia Summer Swimming Association (BCSSA). Our main season begins May 1st and ends with the Provincial Championships in mid-August. From September-April we offer maintenance sessions to allow athletes to keep up their training and prepare for the upcoming summer season.

All Cruisers members are entitled to sign up for and participate in one or any of the aquatics sports offered through the club; however, most swimmers choose a couple of sports so that they can attend practices regularly.

Children as well as parents are sure to develop friendships, have lots of fun, and create lasting lifelong memories!

Speed Swimming

Speed swimmers practice in groups where they focus on refining their competitive strokes, starts, and turns. Emphasis is placed on building endurance and strength, developing good technique, and developing confidence at swim meets through team unity and support from coaches and other athletes. Cruisers coaches encourage training for competition and welcome cross-training and conditioning for other sports. Speed swimming practice groups are determined by age, ability, and at the discretion of the coaches.

Artistic SWIMMING

Artistic swimmers train throughout the season, choreographing and perfecting routines, as well as working on the technical aspects of the sport called "figures". Artistic swimming teams are determined by age, ability, and at the discretion of the coaches.

Diving

In the diving program, we offer beginner and advanced practices. Diving is considered to be an art as well as a sport, and all participants have an opportunity to develop a broad range of athletic, artistic, and personal qualities. Diving levels are determined by age, ability, and at the discretion of the coaches.

WaterPolo

Waterpolo is more or less like soccer, combined with a little handball. Unlike these sports, it is played in the water. Athletes have opportunities to play in a number of tournaments all over the Lower Mainland throughout the May-August season.
