Swimming

For over 50 years, the Strathcona Swim Team has been a cornerstone of our athletic program, distinguished by an incredible 40-year run as City Champions. We welcome all students, regardless of their current swimming ability. Our philosophy is built on the idea that when students feel supported and excited to be part of the team, they bring an enthusiasm to practice that naturally leads to better performance. This growth is guided by a strong mentorship network, as many of our alumni return to provide expert coaching and support.

Being a member of the "Lords" swim team offers much more than competition; it promotes physical fitness and overall well-being. Beyond the pool, the program is a social hub where students meet new people and build lasting friendships. There is a deep sense of pride in belonging to a team with such a celebrated history of excellence.

To help students balance their academics and other extracurriculars, we offer a highly flexible training schedule with 4 to 5 practice sessions per week. We regularly practice at the Kinsmen pool. While we encourage regular attendance, the variety of available times ensures that swimming can fit into even the busiest schedules.

We invite every student at Strathcona High School to become part of the Scona swim team. From the moment you put on the school swim cap and dive in, you will feel the pride that comes with being a part of the Scona Lords.
