Hello Georgian Bay Community Members,

For the 2020-2021 swim season the Collingwood Clippers Swim Club is reaching out to local businesses and organizations to gain sponsorships, that will ensure our ability to continue providing our local youth with the opportunity to pursue competitive and recreational swimming excellence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of the pandemic, our Club has encountered setbacks, but we are excited to say that we are in the process of bouncing back and we are looking for support from our community to continue on stronger than ever.

The Collingwood Clippers Swim Club (formerly Collingwood Y Clippers) have been teaching and coaching competitive swimming to the youth of Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Blue Mountain and surrounding areas since 1985. The Club started as an entry level developmental swim program and has subsequently evolved into a strong, competitive Swim Club.

In recent years, CCSC has continued to produce competitive swimmers that excel at the Regional, Provincial, National and International levels of competition, winning medals and placing within the top 8 at competitions. We have been extremely effective in developing our swimmers and breaking club records. Over the past 3 season our swimmers have broken 28 female short course club records, 43 male short course club records, 33 female long course club records and 40 male long course club records for a grand total of 144 club records! Please see below for some of our Swim Meet and Championship highlight achievements over the past two seasons.

• 2019 Eastern Canadian Championships - CCSC had 3 swimmers compete at 2019 Eastern Canadian Championships (Canadian National level swim meet) in Quebec City, QC. This was the most swimmers CCSC had ever had compete at a single Eastern Canadian Championships. • 2019 TYR Summer Senior Championships - 6 CCSC swimmers competed at the 2019 TYR Summer Senior Championships in St. Petersburg, Florida. Over 800 swimmers competed at this international event and each CCSC swimmer made finals in at least 1 event. • 2019 Canadian Junior Championships - CCSC had 1 swimmer represent the club in Calgary, AB. This swimmer made an “A” final (top 8 finish) in the 200-meter backstroke. This competition is a high-end Canadian National level swim meet. • 2019 Barrie Trojan Cup - At this Invitational our 13 & Over swimmers won the grand prize; The Trojan Cup. This win was made possible by the amount of points scored per event based on the number of swimmers representing the club. Think of it as quality over quantity. • 2020 Huronia Short Course Championships - 29 CCSC swimmers qualified and competed at the 2019 Huronia Short Course Regional Championships in Owen Sound, ON. 27 of the 29 swimmers placed in the top 8 of at least 1 of their events.

In total, the swimmers won 3 Gold Medals, 1 Bronze Medal, 2 – 4th place finishes, 1 – 5th place finish, 2 – 7th place finishes and 2 – 8th place finishes. • 2020 Winter Ontario Swimming Championships (Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre) & Ontario Youth Junior Championships (Markham Pan Am Sports Centre) - CCSC had a total of 5 swimmers compete and represent CCSC over the 4-day Provincial Championship swim meets.
