Richmond Kigoos Swim Club received a BC community gaming grant this week.
Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap had the honour of presenting the longtime aquatics club with a cheque for $13,700.
Paying homage to a First Nations word meaning “fish that swims fast,” the Kigoos have been a perennial summer-swimming powerhouse since 1959. In that time they have consistently been among the top finishing clubs at regional and provincial championships.
In addition to its summer program, it has also historically offered a winter maintenance program and year-round masters swimming.
