Swim Ontario

"Swim Ontario is a non-profit sports governing body responsible for the organization and regulation of amateur swimming in Ontario (province in Canada). Swim Ontario promotes excellence by structuring, regulating and supporting programs, which encourage the maximum development of each individual swimmer. It is directed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and its policies are administered by a full-time professional staff located at the Sport Alliance of Ontario building in Toronto."

Swim Ontario attempts to create and enhance an image for competitive swimming as a sport that involves fun, strength, and attainment of personal excellence, dedication, health, safety and discipline--in short a sport of superior values.

There are over 140 swim clubs, over 10,000 registered swimmers, about 400 coaches, 20,000 officials and other volunteers throughout Ontario. Swim Ontario divides the province into six regions.

Swim Ontario - Central Region

From Oakville to Northumberland County, Toronto to Newmarket, Central Region is geographically the smallest of Swim Ontario’s 6 regions. However, with 40, it has the largest concentration of clubs in the province.

From coaches, to club presidents and officials there is always something happening within a 2 hour drive.
