CSI PROGRAM
CSI Aquatics is a partnership between the Claremont Sports Institute (CSI) at Claremont Secondary School and Island Swimming Club. The program offers an environment of success for academic achievement and swimming excellence.
The program was originally founded by the late Randy Bennett, legendary Canadian National Coach, who worked out of the High Performance Centre - Victoria. His dream was to have a true partnership between excellence as a student and an athlete, with both being supported equally. Over the past years, we have worked hard to realize this vision.
