Men's and women's swimming
Your donation can make a lasting difference for the Vikes swim team by helping us secure a dedicated female assistant coach. This position provides valuable mentorship and career opportunities for emerging female coaches in varsity swimming and delivers consistent benefits to our athletes—enhancing their performance and fostering a more inclusive team environment.
This fall, our team has made tremendous strides, thanks in part to the expertise and energy these young coaches bring to practices and competitions. With your contribution, we can continue to build on this momentum and ensure our athletes' and program's growth and success for years to come.
How will your gift be used?
The $15,000 will go towards paying two female assistant coaches for their efforts with the team. Pacific Coast Swimming will support these coaches in part, but one of our mandates is to make female coaching a consistent fixture of the team moving forwards, and we need to be able to help support these coaches directly to make that sustainable moving forward.
Why support the Vikes swimming program?
Creating coaching opportunities for young female coaches is essential to fostering diversity and equity within Canadian university swimming, a field traditionally dominated by male coaches. These opportunities not only support the professional growth of talented women in coaching but also enhance the overall experience and development of our athletes. Both the men's and women's teams consistently benefit from the unique perspectives and skills these coaches bring to practices and competitions.
