We’re excited to invite all swimmers in the Senior and Senior Elite Groups to a Winter Long Course Training Camp in Japan from February 15–24. This is a great opportunity for focused long course training as we head into the championship season.

The 2nd block of training will have 4 Key Long Course Meets: 

Alberta Winter Provincial Championships, Edmonton, March 18-21, 2027
Canadian Trials, Victoria April 5-10, 2027 (qualifying meet)
Best of the West Saskatoon April 22-25, 2027 (qualifying meet)
Wave Maker meet April 22-25, 2027 (not qualified for Best of West)

The February training camp’s focus is preparation for these 4 meets.
Our swimmers will be visiting popular tourist areas and also planning to have a joint practice with local swim club in Japan.

We’ll be training at Suzuka Sports Garden 

Flights (tentative):

  • Feb 15: Calgary - Tokyo - Nagoya

  • Feb 24: Nagoya - Tokyo - Calgary

We’re finalizing accommodations and flights shortly. Meals will be planned once lodging is confirmed.

Estimated Cost:
We’re looking at roughly $4000 per swimmer, depending on the final group size. If all invited swimmers attend, the total cost per swimmer could be lower, but we want to be upfront with a conservative estimate.
Chaperones will be confirmed once we know numbers.

To move ahead with bookings, please declare your attendance on the website by Friday, October 2, 2026.

Coaches: Coach Takeo
