The club promotes swimming as a lifelong sport and seeks to not only develop swimming potential, but also skills for life such as sportsmanship, confidence and leadership. The Columbia-Shuswap Selkirk Swim Club is comprised of swimmers from the CSRD which includes the communities of Revelstoke, Sicamous, Salmon Arm, Tappen, and Sorrento. As a SwimBC sanctioned entity, the organization provides affordable access to pre-competitive and competitive swimming for youth. The club operates out of Salmon Arm Recreation Centre with a full complement of certified coaches and trained officials. The Selkirks are governed by a non-profit society – the CSRD Youth Swimming Society. Volunteers, donations and fundraising activities are essential components to the success of the club.
