Club Affiliation
The Sudbury Laurentian Swim Club is a non-profit minor sport organization. SLSC is designated “competitive swimming” and is recognized by the City of Sudbury. The Club is a member of the Northeastern Ontario Swimming Association, which is the “Northeastern Region” of Swim Ontario. Swim Ontario, in turn, is a provincial body of Swimming/Natation Canada. Swimming/Natation Canada, along with the national bodies for diving, water polo and synchronized swimming, is affiliated with the Aquatic Federation of Canada (AFC). The body which regulates and controls competitions in the four aquatic sports at the world level is FINA, the Federation Internationale de Natation Amateur.
Club Structure
The Club’s programs are directed by the Head Coach through the professional coaching staff.
