The Windsor Bluefins have represented the Windsor-West Hants Region of Nova Scotia since 1966 and is a local competitive swim team that emphasizes Fitness and Fun.
Who can join?
Whether you are an average or exceptional swimmer, we would love for you to become a member of the Windsor Bluefins. Bluefins range in age from 5 – 18 and you should be able to comfortably swim at least one length of the pool. Perhaps the greatest myth about the Bluefins is: that you must be a fast and elite swimmer to join. This is a myth! Training with the Bluefins Swim Team, you will be amazed how quickly your swimming skills improve.
How often do we swim?
Each year, our season kicks off in June with a few practices per week, gradually building to three or five sessions weekly at the Hants Aquatic Centre. The season wraps up in late August, giving swimmers a full summer of fun, fitness, and progress in the pool.
As a Bluefin, your swimmer will receive some of the most generous weekly pool hours in Nova Scotia—and at a fantastic value. Compare with other programs and you’ll see why families choose us year after year.
Swim meets are held on weekends at various locations, all within about an hour’s drive, and participation is completely optional. Whether you’re aiming to compete or just want your child to grow stronger and more confident in the water, our program supports all goals.
New This Year: Mini Fins!
We’re excited to introduce our Mini Fin program, perfect for kids aged 5–11 who are curious about competitive swimming but not ready to commit full-time. Mini Fins enjoy three 1-hour practices per week, giving them a fun and low-pressure introduction to the sport.
If your Mini Fin loves the experience and wants more, they’re welcome to switch into the full-time program at any point during the summer!
Full-Time Program
Our full-time swimmers train five days a week for 1.5 hours per session and have the option to participate in exciting summer meets. It’s the perfect opportunity to improve skills, build endurance, and be part of a dynamic, supportive team.
Our mission is simple: to help every swimmer become the best they can be—while having fun!
Join us for Fun and Fitness in the pool.
