Swim Training

Not all swim clubs and swim clinics are designed equal.  At our Swim Academy we offer expert coaching and instruction in an upbeat, supportive, and structured environment geared to achieving peak performance. Swimmers and parents alike are often amazed at the degree of improvement after a month of training with us.

Our Program Director, and former Olympic Coach of the Advent Swim Academy, is on deck every day to ensure that his holistic approach to competitive swimming is implemented to the fullest, and that all swimmers receive the individual attention and instruction they deserve. His Master of Physical Education degree and more than forty-eight years of actual coaching expertise round out his tremendous coaching background.

Coach Dmitriy believes speed-based training is the best conditioning tool for swimmers, producing better aerobic effects overall.  High-intensity training produces quicker and better physiological and performance responses in swimmers who have been training longer distances at lower intensities. Learning proper swimming technique is critical for swimming success.

He worked with athletes of all levels at Simon Fraser University (SFU), the Otters, the Surrey Knights, SFA, and Dynamo Swim Clubs. He has been devoted to swimming for more than 48 years. It is essential to have a gift for coaching. Not all totally committed coaches are gifted or have a genuine love of swimming. Coach Dmitriy believes that every athlete with a talented coach is talented. The attitudes of parents are equally crucial. When parents are unfriendly and uncooperative, their children are unlikely to succeed in sports.

We are excited to bring this one-of-a-kind aquatic program to Tri-City residents. Tri-City, according to our members’ input, requires our highest standard program.

We assisted the City of Port Coquitlam with the Heart and Stroke Foundation Swim-a-Thon to collect donations. ADVENT will continue to meet the requirements of the local community by offering a high-quality swim program from September to September.
