Thank you for your interest in Kigoos Swim Club!

Welcome to Kigoos! The Richmond Kigoos Swim Club was established in 1959. We are a competitive summer swim club in the Fraser South Region of the BC Summer Swimming Association (BCSSA). We are a non-profit organization run by a board of parent volunteers. The summer swim season runs from May 1 to mid-August each year. Our home pool is Steveston Outdoor Pool. 

The only requirements to join Kigoos are that your children are 5 years or older, and that they can swim the 25-meter length of the pool unassisted. If they are 9 or over, they must be able to swim 50m unassisted. This does not have to be perfect in any way, they just have to make it to the other end without stopping to hold on to the edge.

If you choose to sign your children up, they will be required to have a new swimmer assessment so the coaches can place them in the group that is most appropriate for their age and ability.

Practice times for swimmers will depend on their group placement. Less experienced swimmers can expect to have four to six practices per week while more experienced swimmers will have seven to nine practices. Attendance at practices is not mandatory but for their own benefit, swimmers are encouraged to attend as many as possible.

The Richmond Kigoos Swim Club is a volunteer-run organization. Families joining the club will be expected to contribute a minimum of 25 volunteer hours during the season.
