The British Columbia Summer Swimming Association (BCSSA) is a competitive aquatics program in British Columbia, Canada. The organization offers competition in four disciplines: Speed Swimming, Water polo, Diving, and Synchronized Swimming. BCSSA celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008[1].

[edit] Competitive Season

The summer season officially runs from May 1 to September 30 of each year; however, the competitive season is completed during the 3rd week in August with no competitions occurring following this date. During the off-season from October 1 to April 30, participation in each of the disciplines is limited on a weekly basis[1].

[edit] Regions and Clubs

The organization is composed of 60 teams from around the province of British Columbia, with two exceptions. One team is located in Yukon Territory, Canada, and a second is located in Washington, USA.

For early season competitions and organizational administration, the province is divided into eight regions: Cariboo, Fraser South, Fraser Valley, Kootenay, Okanagan, Simon Fraser, Vancouver and District, and Vancouver Island[1].
