About Dynamo Swim Club
Lidia Lucaciu Menzies created the Dynamo Swim Club in 1998 and is the head coach. She earned her Masters Degree in Physical Education and wrote the book, “Talent Identification in Swimming”. More on Lidia can be found in our Coaches (link) section. The goal of our club is to provide a quality, year-round swim program for the community of Burnaby, B.C. Please read our philosophy. The Dynamo swim club strives to provide all swimmers with the opportunity to be their best. Our goal is to produce world-class citizens as well as world-class swimmers.
The Dynamo Swim Club is a fully sanctioned, competitive Swimming/Natation Canada swimming program subsidized by its members and sponsors. Our team operates eleven months of the year and offers two seasons of training and competition. Dynamo prides itself on offering quality coaching, and a motivating and exciting environment in which to train. We provide swimmers with the opportunity to improve, strive for excellence, enjoy the sport of swimming and pursue their dreams. From the beginner to advanced levels everyone can find a program to fulfil their swimming dreams.
The Dynamo Swim Club and the sport of swimming involve a commitment on the part of the swimmer as well as the parent. Traveling to meets, training sessions, fund raising, volunteering at meets, hours at the pool and an honest effort are all part of being a swimmer or swim parent. Dynamo Swim Club competes as a member of Swim BC and Swimming/Natation Canada. Dynamo Swim Club provides swimmers with the opportunity to compete at regional, national and international levels. Swim meets are offered throughout each season, and both the winter and summer seasons culminate with a Championship meet. Swimmers are encouraged to swim in the fastest championship meets for which they qualify. Those swimmers who achieve the necessary qualifying standards will participate at the Provincial and National Championships.
