About the Haney Neptunes

Club Operations

The Haney Neptunes are registered with the BC Summer Swimming Association (B.C.S.S.A) and swim as part of the Fraser Valley Region.  As a legally registered society, the Haney Neptunes Aquatic Club operates with a volunteer executive elected by members during the annual general meeting held in September.

During the summer the Neptunes run competitive swimming, water polo, synchronized swimming and development programs. During the winter months there is also a winter maintenance program.

Programs

There are six different programs the Haney Neptunes offer throughout the summer season (May to August). Depending on the age of the participant, multiple programs can be chosen. All programs are run under the direction of a professional coaching staff.

Competitive Swimming: This is a great opportunity for children (ages 6 & over) to increase their swimming skills and be introduced to all four strokes (front & back stroke, butterfly & breast stroke). Along with learning all the above skills, children (ages 6 & over) will compete against other swimmers throughout the Lower Mainland. They also have the opportunity to swim in the Regional competition and qualify for Provincials. The Neptunes are a competitive swim club and encourage all members to compete but, as we recognize that competition is not for everyone, do not require it.

Synchronized Swimming: This sport requires overall body strength, agility, flexibility, grace . . . and is beautiful to watch. Children ages 6 & up can learn the specialized skills it takes to accomplish this water ballet. Open to both male and female participants.

Water Polo: If your child is aged 7 to 18 and enjoys a fun, fast-paced and challenging game in the water, they will love water polo. This co-ed game is most often described as "soccer in the water" with obvious differences. There are four age categories; 11 & under, 12 &13, 14 &15, and 18 & under. Above average swimming skills are encouraged and attending regular practices will dramatically improve them.

Hammond Development Program: This highly successful program is open to swimmers, under 12 years old, who want to develop their skills and gain more confidence in the water. Supervised by qualified coaches, our senior swimmers assist to ensure a low ratio of students to instructors.

Master's Swim Program: Available for all over 18 who want to hone their swimming skills and enjoy a fun environment. Professional coaches are provided to help guide you through a successful swimming program.

If you would like more information about any of these programs please feel free to write the above address or send an email through this page.

 
 

FUN FACTS:

When a great white shark is born, along with up to a dozen siblings, it immediately swims away from its mother. Baby sharks are on their own right from the start, and their mother may see them only as prey. At birth the baby shark is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long already; as it grows it may reach a length three times that.
