Welcome to TORCH SWIMMING offering a full range of programs from Novice to National level swimming. Our philosophy is to provide the opportunity for all swimmers to achieve their greatest potential through program excellence and coaching expertise.

Torch was founded in 1993 by professional coaches Shauna Devine and Gary Nolden and has continued to produce excellence in and out of the pool for more than 30 years.

Since its founding Torch has coached swimmers to National and Provincial records; placed swimmers on the 2000 World Cup Tour, 2000 World Championships Team, Athens Greece, and 2000 Jr. Pan Pacific Championships, Sydney Australia.

Torch swimmers have been finalists at the World Cup Tour, World Championships and Jr. Pan Pacific Championships; and finalists and medalists at Senior Nationals, Jr. Nationals and Provincials. Under Nolden, Torch also coached, as age groupers, future Olympian and Olympic Medalist Penny Oleksiak and National Team Swimmer and Fina World Jr. Team Championship Team Member, Joshua Liendo.
