Who We Are

The Vancouver Open Water Swim Association is a registered Society under the Society Act of the Province of British Columbia. We are dedicated to creating safe and enjoyable open water swim opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. We are an entirely volunteer-driven, non-profit organization and have operated and grown the Series on that basis. And volunteers are always welcome!
