The Downtown Swim Club is a Toronto Masters swim club registered with Masters Swimming Ontario and International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics (IGLA). Through IGLA, the DSC is associated with the Federation of Gay Games (FGG). The DSC is also a member of GLISA, the sanctioning body for the Outgames.

Our mission is:

• to maximize the accessibility of DSC activities - in terms of pool location, practice times, number of practices and affordability;
• to provide a balanced program, appealing equally to men and women, recreational, fitness and competitive swimmers, and providing both exercise and social activities;
• to provide an environment fostering improved competitive skills for those interested in masters swim meets;
• to provide a positive gay and lesbian environment.

The DSC welcomes all levels of swimmers who have in common not how fast they are, but how hard they work (or how much fun they have!) while swimming.
