These Buenaventura Swim Club swimmers
started by competing in the local league meets, dual meets and USS
meets, advancing through the various competitive swim levels. This
broad spectrum of experience accurately reflects the BSC program.
Our intent is to provide every opportunity for each swimmer to
achieve maximum success. BSC has gained an outstanding reputation
as a result of the training and handling of our competitive
swimmers. Our goal is to continue to develop competitive
swimmers.
We believe that swimming provides many life experiences and teaches
our children the value of hard work and sacrifice. At the same time
we never lose sight of one of our main goals - having
fun!
