Hello Scarborough Swim Club, Recently, we sent home a survey in both email and online Google form format in regards to our plans for reopening for summer swimming.

If you have not yet completed our summer survey, please do so. * SCAR’s High Performance & Gold swimmers continue their work from home, remaining engaged and connected while focusing on their physical and mental...

Full Stroke: April 2021 Head Coach Address: Hello Scarborough Swim Club, This last month saw our swimmers take part in many more important activities to help us continue navigating the current times. Aside from our frequent physical testing taking part every few weeks on Fridays, we asked our swimmers to write a letter to themselves from their future-self. They were to be written in a time where we find ourselves beyond the pandemic, having returned to regular pool training. Here’s a few of the important questions we asked our swimmers...

Introduction by Head Coach Chris Ellul: Hello Everyone, By the time you read this it’ll be appropriate to say: Happy New Year! This last year has been something we have not experienced in our lifetime. It has changed so many things in how we go about our daily lives. And now, as we find ourselves temporarily out of the pool for a second time, along with the rest of the Province, we are still here. It is an encouraging statement. In my over 9 seasons with the Scarborough Swim Club,...

Introduction by Head Coach Chris Ellul: Hello Everyone, I’d first like to start off by reiterating some important messages to our valued team members: SCAR and its coaches remain committed to ensuring our swimmers have access to many resources during these difficult times, and are able to remain motivated, engaged, connected and fit through alternative forms of training.
