Each year, MSABC teams demonstrate their team spirit and commitment to excellence throughout the swim season. Teams that regularly compete in MSABC meets vie for the League Trophy and banner in their division by accumulating points from sanctioned meets held prior to the Provincial Championship meet.

Last year, we initiated the MSABC Monthly Challenge. All teams participating in a set number of challenges received an MSABC swim cap with the new MSABC logo. This year, we have two categories--read more about it below.

• Current trophy point total 2025-26 season
• Current monthly challenge participants 2025-26
• Past team and individual award recipients

MSABC Monthly Challenge

From September through May (9 months), we will have a monthly theme. Any team member (or members) can participate — all of your MSABC team members will receive credit for that month. Big prizes: participate in 5 of 9 months; fun prizes: participate in 3 of 9 months.

We encourage teams to get creative and participate by doing one or more of the following:

• take a photo and send it in
• make an IG post or story (or Facebook) and tag us #mastersswimmingbc
• send in workouts, recipes, or other ideas that fit the theme of the month.

2025-26 Themes

This season, our themes come from the MSABC stated purposes from our constitution, highlighting the heart of MSABC. Here are the first four themes.

• September: Fun
• October: Fitness
• November: Health (cookie recipes and other healthy choices!!)
• December Fellowship 

MSABC Trophies

The MSABC Board presents awards to teams that have excelled in league meets. The team trophies and individual awards are presented at the MSABC Awards Banquet, typically held on the Saturday evening of Provincials.

League Trophies  go to the teams scoring the most points in their team division during our league meets; these are all the sanctioned meets held prior to our Provincial Championships. The more swimmers your club sends to each of these meets, the better your chances of scoring more points. Points are awarded at sanctioned meets as follows: 20 pts-1st place finish, 17 pts-2nd, 16 pts-3rd, 15 pts-4th, etc., with double the points for relays.

If you want to host a meet that contributes to the League Trophy standings, please read the MSABC League Trophy Policy regarding sanctioning procedures. We especially encourage teams to host sprint race meets (25s and 50s) to motivate newer competitors to attend a meet.

Team division placement is based on the number of active team members (as verified by Swim BC and the MSABC Registrar) two weeks prior to the Provincials. If you have any questions about the MSABC team size policy, contact the Awards & Incentives Committee.

     Div 1: 1 – 30 members
     Div 2: 31 – 50 members
     Div 3: 50 – 90 members
     Div 4: 91+ members

The second award, the Champions Trophy, is presented to the team that scores the most points at the Provincial Championships. Once again, the larger the contingent of swimmers your team sends to Provincials, the better your chances are of winning. If the points are such that, prior to the final event of the meet, a team is assured of the win, the trophy will be awarded before the final event. In the event that the winning team will only be decided during the final event, when most teams have already left for home, we will present this award at one of our first meets of the following season.
