Tyee Aquatic Club

Island Swimming at Crystal Pool

Tyee Aquatic Club was established in 1998. TYEE is a growing young club dedicated to development of swimmers at all levels and is a proud member of Island Swimming.

Tyee competes at Regional meets under their club name. However, at Provincial (AAA), National-level and Invitational meets, we join forces with our sister clubs and compete as Island Swimming.  As an association, we take pride in helping each other run successful and fun swim meets.

We are ’Committed to Excellence’ providing an opportunity for each of our swimmers to attain his or her maximum potential in competitive swimming. We believe in a long-term approach to the sport, ensuring our athletes continue with the club for many years. In the early years, we emphasize fun, skill development and a love for swimming. In the later years, the training schedule becomes more physically and emotionally demanding.
